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.

Important Reminders:
  • -Math test tomorrow (in-class review has been sent home, have them explain the questions to you)
  • -Spelling Test tomorrow and spelling work due tomorrow
  • -Students will be working on their summative for UOI in class tomorrow, they need to bring in information printed from the internet and/or books on different types of safety in order to work on their brochure in class.
