Language Arts:
Today we reviewed RIT vocabulary, listened to our read a loud, worked on possessive pronouns and contractions, completed a spelling sheet that worked with definitions, switched for Vocabulary Vine, reviewed reference materials(Encyclopedias, atlas, dictionaries, thesaurus,newspapers), and squeezed in twenty minutes to read independently. What a busy morning!
Homework:
***Reading calendars are due on Friday!
***Please see to it that your child is reading extra during the month of February. Extra reading does take the place of our weekly homework packet.
***We will have our assessments on Friday as usual. It is a good idea to reread the story at home, review the vocabulary, and practice writing the spelling words in correct letter formation. ************************************************************************************
Math:
Today we worked on our minute, worked on computation on white boards, learned two new math vocabulary words, and then jumped into our lesson of the day. Today we worked on the fractional units of the whole. If all goes well, we will be having our Unit 8 test on either Friday or on Tuesday of next week.
Homework:
***Pages 282-283
***Get the fraction quiz signed that was passed back today.
