We had a very busy Monday! The kids, as a whole, seemed totally on it today all across the curriculum! That's great news for the progress we're making each day!
Assignment Avenue:
Math: Unit 1 Assessment on Tuesday--all students should bring home his or her Student Reference Book (SRB) and Math Journal to guide studying. They each have a new study guide, too, that is for studying/practice purposes only. It is not a grade nor required to complete for a grade. We reviewed the other study guide as a class today and students had the opportunity to work in a small group with me during math, as well as at recess is desired.
Social Studies-We will have a Northeast regions quiz on Friday this week. Students received a handout this morning to complete (locate the state in an atlas and list its capital). We reviewed this handout together this afternoon so students can use it for a study guide for Friday.
Reading: Workbook pages 11-12 due Tuesday (Students were given 12 minutes to complete in class today with a partner.)
Health: Ad Techniques handout due Tuesday (Students were introduced to the various types of techniques in advertisements briefly today. We also discussed this handout thoroughly before giving the kids 5 minutes to begin working on the matching section.)
NO SPELLING THIS WEEK!
Have a wonderful evening! I know the assignment lists seems lengthy, but please be advised that I allow students a lot of time to complete these activities in class (other than test prep). In fact, we had 15 minutes (car riders and walkers) to 25 minutes (bus riders) to complete any unfinished work today or ask questions about anything.
