What a day!
Language Arts: Today was a short day for us in Language Arts since we had double specials. We did manage to review subjects and predicates in preparation for our test tomorrow, silent read, and work on our 15 day crunch in writing. I was impressed with the students as we worked through Word Choice and ways to make our writing sound more impressive. They have quite an extensive vocabulary!
Homework: Our assessments for the week will be tomorrow. Please review Spelling independent lists. Fluency and Flow is due tomorrow as well.
Math: After our minute and computation, we started lesson 7.4 which discusses adding and subtracting fractions. I intend to spend some time on this skill since it is a vital skill in preparing for the lessons that follow. The students were given a board quiz today with multiplying a two digit number by a two digit number. Look for these quizzes to come home soon.
Homework: Math Box 7.4
S0cial Studies: We reviewed chapter 1- Lessons 1-3 today and then introduced lesson 4. This is the end of our Chapter. Tomorrow we will review all the material in preparation for our Chapter 1 test which will be next Wednesday, September 3.
Homework: There is no written homework unless your child wants to study their notes in preparation for the test next week.
Reminders: Please be sure that your child is packing a healthy snack. If you have questions, please refer to the healthy food guidelines on the PHM website.
Until tomorrow...
