Thursday Thoughts

Hello 201 Families!


I had to leave early today to attend a meeting.  I went over the homework with the kids before I left, but haven't had a chance to post until now.

This evening at home...

  • complete the Homework for today's Go Math lesson 13.2
  • read a book of your choice for 25-30 minutes
  • write STRONG paragraph that tells about...Your favorite character and why you like them....OR....The most interesting/exciting/funny part and why you like it. The topic is really up to you, but you MUST include evidence from the text and explain your ideas clearly.


Tomorrow we will....
  • Not take a Journey's Reading test.
  • Take the End of Year REACH performance task. This means that you will read a passage, make a graphic organizer, and then explain your ideas, with evidence, in writing. You can't study, but you can decide to bring your "A Game."
  • Continue our Odyssey for Orbs of Knowledge and Bead of Understanding
  • Begin reading a new book for next week's Book Clubs
  • Revisit the "Seeds of the Revolutionary War" and retake the Brainpop quiz.
  • Continue to work on the Electricity project.


A note about Go Math
Did you notice that we didn't quite finish Chapter 12?  Don't worry, we will cycle back to it.  All of the lessons in the chapter were covered. I decided to move on to Chapter 13 to give 201 students some time to work on Area and Perimeter. We have been talking about these topics all year. They come up in ST Math, on Esparks and in our morning work.  When we finish both 12 and 13, we will have covered all of the Go Math  curriculum.  I have lots of fun problem solving work and projects that will end the year on a strong note.
