THANK YOU TO ALL THE DRIVERS TODAY!!!
This morning we played a logic game called "In and Out". Words with double letters are "in" and words with no double letters are "out". I didn't share the rule, but some of the kids caught on quickly. Play this at home. It will help their spelling!
We wrote all the cursive letters for further analysis and comparison at the end of the year. We identified the three Article Adjectives (we call them Articles): a, the, an.
Next, we worked on our genre posters and read samples of various genre. STUDENTS SHOULD BE READING FOR THIRTY MINUTES EACH DAY.
We also considered some ideas for writing our own stories.
MATH HOMEWORK IS GOING ONLINE TO google, AND TYPING IN NUMBER BOND ONLINE GAMES. THE mathplayground.com SELECTION IS THE SECOND ON THE LIST. IT IS A GOOD REVIEW OF NUMBERS THAT MAKE 100. IF YOU CAN'T FIND IT, THE WEBSITE IS:

After recess we attended the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival, where we enjoyed stories about trouble, slavery, mythology, and identity. The students were well-behaved. We will use these stories as a springboard for writing our stories.
Students chose between Team Sports and Competition Choir, were introduced to Mini-courses, and spent a wonderful time using the Science/Naturalist multiple intelligence to create their own topographical Utah maps to eat. We learned:
Rocky Mountains
Wasatch Range
Uintah Range
Bear Lake
Great Salt Lake
Utah Lake
Strawberry Reservoir
Lake Powell
Lake Sevier (dry lake)
Flaming Gorge Reservoir
Have a great Looooooooonnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg Weekend! See you Tuesday!
