Class activities for Friday, May 20
Spelling: None today.
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences, seven or more words each, are due on Fridays.
Reading: Today was a reading skills and AR practice day.
Writing: Students worked on publishing and finalizing their collection of poems today. I told students they could work on them for a final day on Saturday before I would start grading them.
Math: We practiced adding fractions with denominators of 10 and 100 in Khan Academy. Students also had time to try to catch up on any unfinished fraction skills. We’ll be starting decimals skills next week. Homework is to practice MobyMax Math or Khan Academy for at least 15 minutes. Some students may need to work at home if they haven’t had enough time to finish their fraction skills in class.
Science: We looked at our plant experiments and found out that the plants with too much or too little heat died. The plant without water isn’t looking too healthy. We also started learning about how organisms adapt to their environment to survive.
Social Studies: We worked on geography skills using MobyMax Social Studies today. Many students were continuing to learn about landforms or natural resources.
