Language Arts:
Today we finished up the story from last week and took the assessments over it. It looks as though we will jump back into our novel study tomorrow since our books have arrived. We will reread the chapters together and make sure that the students are all refreshed before setting them off on their own. Be looking for nightly homework, journal responses, or responding to literature.((Time will be given in class each day to work on this. It is my goal to have very little homework each night on these crazy weeks leading up to the holiday break!)
Homework:
***Question #2 on Performance Task(Paragraph)
*********************************************************************************
Math:
We completed our minute and practiced a written example of rates in preparation for our test tomorrow over Unit 12. The students have a study guide with sample problems to complete. We will go over these thoroughly tomorrow before the test.
Homework:
***Complete the Study guide
*********************************************************************************Social Studies:
Today we played a short Jamestown survival game. This stirred up quite a few distraught conversations.... We also moved our way through the Southeast listening to all kinds of music from Jazz, to the Blues, to Cajun, to Bluegrass. We visited the strip mines, Memphis, Louisiana,and the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. We should be wrapping up this chapter this week with our Chapter 6 test sometime next week. Be looking for the study guide to come home in the next couple of days.
Reminders:
***My content #1 class needs to turn in their picture that they will use for our Art Smart class next week.
***Mini Mall papers were passed out today. All proposals need to be turned in by December 14.
Until tomorrow...
