Today we spent time aboard a train visiting various places in the Northeast region. We visited Boston, Plymouth and the most favorite of all, Hershey Pennsylvania. While in Pennsylvania, we learned about the concept of mass production. The students interacted with each other in a production line where they worked together to wrap candy. They learned quickly that cooperation was the key to a successful assembly line. We will continue on our journey on Monday. All Aboard!
Until tomorrow...

It was another busy day trying to get through all of our reading project presentations. We have only one more left to present and a short commercial D.V.D. to watch. I am impressed with them so far!
In grammar we worked on possessives with both singular and plural nouns. This is always confusing so we will practice a bit more tomorrow.
Homework:
***Grammar book-p. 52
******************************************************************************************************************
Math:
Today we completed our minute, graded our homework, worked on computation on white boards, and jumped into our lesson of the day. Today we worked on comparing population data. This was great practice for reviewing percents. The lesson tomorrow will focus on multiplying with decimals.
Math was cut short today due to a bus safety drill.
Homework:
***No homework-We are, however, having a test over Unit 9 next week sometime.
****************************************************************************************************************
Social Studies:
We did not have a regular Social Studies class due to the bus safety drill. Instead, we reread chapter 4 and discussed it as a class.
Reminders:
***Tomorrow is picture retakes.

Today in Language Arts we started off in double specials. Next, we completed our spelling pretest, reviewed our new RIT vocabulary words, discussed our story vocabulary and listened to our story on tape. We ended our morning by listening to about seven reading project commercials. We will fit them in tomorrow and on Wednesday as well. (I can't wait to read their books... Yummy!)
Homework:
***Weekly homework packet- due Friday
***Read! Read!- We are gearing up for our next reading project soon.
Reminders:
***Picture retakes are on Wednesday.
*************************************************************************************
Math:
Today in math we completed our minute, practiced a variety of computation skills on white boards, and then discussed are at home surveys that we completed last week. As a class, we found the percentage of "Yes" answers out of a specific number of responses. This was great practice and I heard a lot of helpful information being shared as the students worked in their work groups.
Homework:
***Get quiz signed
***Math Box 9.6
***Study Link 9.5 and 9.6

Today we boarded our train and departed on a journey through the Northeast region. We started our journey in Maine and made a few stops along the way. We stopped long enough to take notes in our Interactive Student Notebook and to collaborate with our peers about choosing a ruling body. We will continue with this lesson on Thursday.

Today was a productive day. We prepared for our grammar test tomorrow by working on white boards and completing a page in our workbooks that deals with both regular and irregular singular and plural nouns. We also discussed parts of a book and the following terms: glossary, table of contents, title page, index, front coverand back cover. We also met with our reading buddies and switched for Vocabulary Vine.
Homework:
***Weekly homework sheet is due tomorrow
***Reading projects are due on Monday. Be sure to start practicing your two-minute commercial.

Math:
Today was our first day to work on our new computer program called Odyssey. This program was amazing! The students were able to work in different individualized folders based on their own RIT score and their areas of need. The computer lab was silent and I heard many positive comments. Once we get everything finalized, the students will be able to access it from home. We also found some time to complete a minute and complete two standard assessments.
Homework:
***Finish page 342(Journal) and Math Box 9.5

Today we started chapter 4. We are taking a train ride through the Northeast region of the United States. We spent our time today working on geography questions by using a map of the Northeast.
Be looking for our chapter 3 tests to be coming home in folders tomorrow.

After Library, we spent time completing our RIT vocabulary test.( I have these graded and they look great!) We then worked on spelling by completing a worksheet that sorted our spelling words into different consonant clusters. During our writing block, we discussed quatrains. Believe it or not, the students had a blast working on these and coming up with several on their own by using one of the four rhyme schemes. After that, we were off to Vocabulary Vine.
Homework:
***Finish your quatrains if you did not finish them in class.
***Reading Projects are due on Oct. 18.
**************************************************************************************
Math:
During math class we completed our minute, graded our homework, worked a few computation practice problems, and started our next lesson. The new lesson had us converting from fractions to decimals and then to percents by using a calculator. We did a lot of practice on white boards with this.
