CAN ANYONE DRIVE US FRIDAY MORNING AT 10:25 (10 MINUTES AWAY) AND PICK US UP AFTERWARD (12:30ISH)???
Students began the day with procedural safety drills. We reviewed fire, earthquake and terrorist drills. Some students shared what they had learned about the origin of their county names. PARENTS SHOULD BE SIGNING THE HOMEWORK BOOK DAILY. We also created a Reading Strategies booklet to refer to as we prepare for Literature Circles, or Book Clubs. Today we listened to the Book of Virtues story "Please". Students practiced the visualization strategy. HOMEWORK IS 30 MINUTES OF READING!
In math we reviewed number bonding concepts using connect cubes.We are reviewing place value using "T" as the symbol for tens. Example: 100 = 4T and 6T. 100 = 3T5 and 6T5. 10T = 1H (hundred). Students then progressed in placement tests. These are designed to be very difficult. They show student thought processes, basic facts, problem solving methods, etc, that the children use. We will use the results of these tests to place students appropriately in Singapore levels. HOMEWORK IS TO COMPLETE THE MULTIPLICATION CHART.
After lunch students had Drama and Music. They then came to me for Personal Development. This is a neat class structured to help students grow mentally, physically, socially, etc. It will encompass the 7-Habits, study skills, health habits, careers, news events/opinions, learning theory (multiple intelligences and Bloom's taxonomy), as well as giving us time to delve into personal interests in Type III projects. Today we had an overview of the 8 ways people are smart. We used logic smarts and verbal smarts to memorize counties, experimenting with which method was our personal favorite. The students were so well-behaved they earned a recess! HOMEWORK IS TO GOOGLE "ONLINE GAMES UTAH COUNTIES". PRACTICE IDENTIFYING COUNTIES.
Students will finish with P.E. and Science.
