What a great day!
Language Arts:
Today was a busy one in Room 24. We took our spelling pretest, reviewed subject and predicate, discussed our new vocabulary for this weeks' story, listened to the story on tape, and discussed our seven new RIT vocabulary words. (These words will be added each week. Your child has them in their reading binder and it is a great idea to review them a little each week. They will be tested periodically.) We even found a spare minute to read a bit of our read a loud.
Homework:
***Our new Weekly Homework Packet was passed out today. Parents- please sign the top and each nights reading minutes. Packets without parent signatures and reading minutes initialed will result in an "Oops" slip on Friday. This is the only way that I can ensure that reading is completed. This is due on Friday along with our spelling test.
***All assessments from Friday were passed back today with the exception of those students who were absent on Friday. If your child received an "N", please review the test, sign it, and return it tomorrow.

Math:
After completing our minute and working on our computation (divisibility review, comparing fractions, long division, multiplication with multi digit numbers, and adding fractions), we jumped into our daily lesson. Today we spent time working on equivalent names for fractions.
Homework:
***Math Boxes 7.5 and 7.6

Social Studies:
Today in class we drew a bird's-eye view of our home. We labeled each section of our homes into different regions and labeled our map with a colored map key. This initiated our discussion of regions of the United States and the review of our new vocabulary terms. We finished up by reading and discussing section 2.1 in our book.
Homework:
***The Chapter 1 tests were passed back today. Be looking for them in folders. If your child received an "N", please review the test together, sign it, and return it to school tomorrow.
Until tomorrow...
