Good Afternoon..
Today we.....
- watched a Brain Pop on the Solstice and Equinox.
- began our unit on physical features of the United States. Students were given a pre-test to help me determine our base line. By next week, students should be able to identify the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Great Lakes, Illinois, the Mississippi River, the Gulf of Mexico, the locations of Canada and Mexico relative to the U.S..
- read My Brother Martin. We discussed Author's Purpose and we analyzed the text. We met in smaller groups to learn about Types of Sentences and this week's prefix focus: im-, ir-, il-, and in-.
- in Math, we learned about the Properties of Addition: Associative, Communicative, and Identity. We even got sneaky and did a bit of pre- algebra.
- logged on to Science Fusion to begin our unit on Electricity. Today we talked about static electricity. We will get more "into" this topic tomorrow.
- Study those Vocabulary and Spelling words. We will have a test on Friday
- Read for 20 minutes or more and fill out the Reading Log
- Work on this week's Reading Response pages. You should have TWO activities completed by tomorrow. I will collect it on Friday, but I will check the Response log each day.
- Finish any math classwork that didn't get done today.
- Complete the Math sheet: Lesson 1/Enrich. Use the hints to crack the code. You can do it!
*Please try to get a copy of Dear Mr. Henshaw by Beverly Cleary. I really want to read this book together, but we can't do it until we all have the book!
