Class activities for Friday, February 10
Spelling: Students used letter cards to form words with soft-syllable endings.
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences, seven or more words each, are due on Fridays.
Reading: Today was a reading day in Literature Circles.
Writing: We talked about writing more sentences in the middle paragraphs so that it’s clear to the reader what is happening in that example from the book. We also worked on editing today. A literary essay (here’s our example essay) will be due Friday, February 10, but students can finish over the weekend. Homework is to work on writing for at least 15 minutes.
Math: None today due to extra time with social studies. Homework is to practice math for at least 15 minutes using MobyMax Math or Khan Academy.
Here are some skills that should be leveled up at this point:
- Dividing Decimals 1
- Dividing Decimals 2
- Dividing Decimals 3
- Dividing Decimals 4
- Dividing Decimals 5
- Dividing Decimals 6
- Dividing Decimals 7
- Dividing Decimals 8
Science: We finished working on our class experiment about using traits to survive and how traits are passed on to other generations.
Social Studies: We learned about how people fought back against slavery and students completed the digital Key Ideas, Got It, and Quiz. We also started watching a Dear America episode about slavery.
