Thoughtful Thursday

 Today's post begins with a message about being thoughtful.  Sometimes, it is not easy to get along with everyone all of the time.   I will remind kids that we need to respect personal space, that manners and courtesy are true soothers, and that unkind words and looks can leave marks that last a lifetime.  Each one of us deserves to be treated with care.  I think that Team 201 understands this.  Sometimes we need a gentle reminder.


If it were Wednesday, we'd call it Wise Words Wednesday.    Today we talked about proverbs and adages. There are lots of links on Edmodo to help you understand these old time sayings.
Look before you leap...
A bird in teh hand is worth two in the bush...
Don't bite off more than you can chew...
Cross that bridge when you come to it...
A stitch in time saves nine...

This evening at home.....

• complete one more Mythology Card
• complete the Vocabulary Graphic.  We had time to get a head start in class.  Pick any 8 of this week's words
• reread Hercules to prepare for tomorrow's test.
• in the Chapter 8 Go Math book, cut out the vocabulary cards and bring them to school
• in the Go Math book, complete pp 453 and 454

Spend some time with these videos. During the test, you will be glad that you did.  Don't cry about prepositions.  I hope you learn something from these clips!
