Today in Language Arts we added 4 more word parts to our Vocabulary Vine, listened to our read aloud, read this weeks Time for Kids article with a partner, completed pages 32 and 33 in our handwriting book, and reviewed past, present and future tense helping verbs.
Homework:
***Read/record minutes
***Reading projects are due on Friday
***Fluency and Flow is due Friday
***Complete handwriting pages 32 and 33 if not completed in class today.
In Math, we worked on our timed minute, reviewed computation on our white boards, and started our Unit 12 assessment over Rates. This assessment is taking them quite a bit of time so they will continue to work on it. Tomorrow they will begin their CRT (Cumulative Review Test). This is quite extensive and will cover all the 4th grade standards. This is a very useful tool for me in assessing each students strengths and weak areas before we begin the 5th grade journal after winter break.
Homework:
***None
In Social Studies, we completed our Chapter 2 test and worked through our practice book and started the Chapter 2 review. We will work on these again on Thursday. Their project for this rotation was explained today. Starting tomorrow in class, the students will be creating a time line of 8 important events in their life. They will be asked the year that the event occurred, to write in detail about the event and to draw a picture to illustrate it. Class time will be given to complete this project.
Homework:
***Jot down the year of 8 important events or things in your personal life.(Parents: Your child may need your help with the year that these events happened. Some suggestions are as follows: your birth and facts, a family vacation, an award that they won, etc... They will then put the events in chronological order on their time line. Thanks for your help!)
***I can't wait to hang these up! They are always fun to read!
Until tomorrow...
