Happy Wednesday Parents!
We began our day today with an in-class math review for our
test tomorrow. I went over each question individually that will be on our test tomorrow.
While working I also had time to work one-on-one with some students who needed
the questions to be explained again in a different way. In preparation for our
test tomorrow students are taking home the completed review that they did in
class today. I have asked that they explain
each question to their parents this will allow them to verbalize
their thinking and hopefully allow them to solidify their understanding for their
test tomorrow. If you would like extra practice questions feel free to sue
these sample problems and have students work on them again using different
numbers.
In language we read the second chapter of Little House in
the Big Woods. Students are showing exceptional interest in the novel, they are
demonstrating their inquiry skills by asking thought-provoking questions and
making inferences about what is going to happen next. After reading we used our
best sentence making skills in order to answer some comprehension questions
about the second chapter. I am very proud of all of my students who worked this
period.
For UOI we continued talking about safety. Today we focussed
our attention on Water Safety. We began by discussing why it is important to
stay safe around the water. Afterward students were broken into groups. They worked
on memorizing a stanza from a water safety poem and coming up with actions to
go along with the poem. They worked collaboratively for the period in their
groups. The students then presented their stanza of the poem and together as a
class we formed the whole poem. Stay tuned for a video coming later!
After second lunch and recess, the students had music and
gym before coming back to finish agendas and head to kiss and ride.
