Class activities for Monday, November 21
Spelling: None today due to working on a writing reflection and writing log about the last piece of writing.
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences, seven or more words each, are due on Fridays, so no cursive assignment this week.
Reading: None today due to art.
Writing: We talked writing believable, realistic dialogue to make characters seem real.
Students also worked on revising conferences today. Our next piece of writing is a fiction narrative, due Monday, November 28. Homework is to work on writing for at least 15 minutes. Your student should be revising by looking for ways to make the writing better.
Math: We practiced estimating quotients by rounding. Homework is to practice math for at least 15 minutes using MobyMax Math or Khan Academy.
Here are some Khan Academy topics your students should be finished with by now:
Science: Students worked on an experiment to test if it’s easier to catch a ball with one hand or two hands. We’ll finish this experiment tomorrow.
Social Studies: Students finished working on digital assessments for Lesson 1 about Spanish Settlements.
