That"s The NorTHEAST Thursday

THis morning we performed our NorTHeast raps and songs. We got it all on tape and will share the edited version wiTH parents soon. THat's a wrap for the NorTHeast!  Well done Team 201!

Today we also went over a few problems from last night's difficult homework.   There is a time to use the distributive property, and there is a time to just stick with D.M.S.B.. Most kids prefer division the "old fashioned" way.   Today's GoMath lesson focuses on using repeated subtraction and multiples to divide.

Jordan THinks THat I can't spell and is pointing out all of my mistakes. He is partially correct, but today, I am using some poetic license to drive the alliteration point home. So THere. It's Thursday. Strong observation, Jordan. THese kids know THat even teachers need to edit THeir writing! Thanks for looking out for me, Jordan!


THis evening at home....

• Do the Homework and Practice for Lesson 4.7 in Go Math
• Complete the Shade of Meaning color strips. There are two on the page.  Remember, the mild word goes on top.  Each word below increases in intensity. The words don't have to be exact synonyms, but they should have the same connotation. Use the graphic organizer or the thesaurus to help you.  If you don't know what the word means, don't use it. Better yet: learn this new word and then use it!
• Study for tomorrow's L.A./Reading test.
• Don't forget to read and record. Please get a signature!
