11/17/09

It is time to bring out those sweaters and long pants! Recess was cold!

Today in Language Arts we switched for Vocabulary Vine, listened to a short chapter in our read a loud, practiced our spelling words by completing a sheet together, and worked on capitalizing, punctuating, and underlining titles in grammar.

Homework:
***Study your spelling words
***Weekly Homework Packet- due Friday
***Study RIT Vocabulary

Math:
Math was a bit shorter today due to a brief play put on by several of our students to inform us about their "Granger Paths Project." We did have time to take our Unit 5 test, however. I will get those graded and returned to the students by the end of the week. We will start Unit 6 tomorrow. This is my favorite Unit and I think the students are eager to jump into it as well. With all the extra work that we have been doing with algebra, they are all eager to get started with this unit.

Homework:
***None

Social Studies:
Today in content we read and discussed the Reading Further section. This stirred up a lot of questions about war and religion. Although it was brief, I was impressed with how respectful everyone was with their comments. Tomorrow we will role play. Our Chapter 4 test is scheduled for Monday. We will start new rotations on Tuesday of next week.

Until tomorrow...
