I hope that everyone was able to enjoy the long weekend. We shared some stories about our long weekends and jumped right back into our novel.
Language Arts: Today we took our vocabulary quiz over chapter 7, read and discussed chapter 8, and started creating Greek vases which will tell a story.The students are really making connections and I've heard a lot of conversations about this book outside of class. Many of the students are talking about what cabin they would be in if they were at Camp Half Blood. Have you heard where your child would be? If not, ask them!
During Vocabulary Vine they learned about the prefix per . Those students who had Triumphs with me reviewed story elements and started working on the skill of sequencing events.
Homework:
***Study 5 words from your chapter 8 vocabulary
***Complete the vase in colored pencil(tans, white, reds, and oranges)
***Complete the comprehension questions

Math: Tricks on Tuesday
After reviewing on white boards, we jumped into our lesson which dealt with step graphs. This type of graphs shows information over time so they can be a little tricky.
This week we are starting to focus on a different quick idea each day. Tuesdays will be Tricks on Tuesday. Today we learned a trick on how to multiply a number from 11 to 18 times 11 mentally. Ask them to explain!
Homework:
***Math Box and Study Link 1.8
*** Skill Sheet- due Friday

Social Studies:(Suddarth)
Today we played a fun Jeopardy game as a way to review for our test over chapter 1 which will be on Thursday for my homeroom class. Please review the study guide that was passed out last week. I gave an extension on Interactive Workbook page 7. This will be collected on Thursday while the students are taking their test. This way, they can still have their notebook to study from if they need it.
Until tomorrow...
