Today we...
- watched some of our classmates get homework passes for getting a written confirmation about last night's reading. I am sorry that I have to be a stickler about requiring the note, but I do. We spent a great deal of time on Thursday about "owning" responsibility for tasks.
- read the Article of the Day and responded in the BOK
- spent some time reworking some of last night's very confusing homework.
- continued research on our African American History project. We will finish these up in class early next week.
- went to Tech with Ms. Kostecki. The kids are collaborating on some very cool Minecraft design projects.
- read, and ate a quick snack.
- circulated through Guided Reading Groups/Stations. Kids were either...working on Text Structure, reading and discussing with me, or reading independently.
- revisited the whole fraction thing.
- worked some more on fractions.
- did some more fractions.
- fractions.
- ate lunch.
- went to recess.
- took out our "agendas/assignment notebooks" and discussed homework expectations.
- retook the Water Cycle Kahoot. All kids scored much better the second time around...
- went home!
This weekend at home...
- read for one hour or more. This can be done in one or two separate sessions. The total requirement is one hour.
- log it.
- get written, parental confirmation on the Gold Card, in the agenda, or on your arm: I can confirm that ____read for an hour this weekend. Signature.
- IXL is not official hw but is always encouraged. Don't forget that we also have IXL Reading!
- Think about/work on/ read for the Book Buffet.
Parents, I know how busy you are! It is your child's responsibility to remember to read and to ask you for the confirmation note. I encourage them to check the blog when they get home to confirm that they have completed each task. Most kids do need some support with this.
In case you are not tired of fractions.....
