Field trip tomorrow and Today's work

TOMORROW IS THE FIELD TRIP TO THE TIMPANOGOS STORYTELLING FESTIVAL.  STUDENTS SHOULD WEAR THEIR BLUE ARCHES ACADEMY SHIRT AND JEANS OR UNIFORM PANTS, SKIRT, ETC.  THEY SHOULD ALSO BRING A SACK LUNCH, AS WE WILL BE GONE FROM SCHOOL DURING THE NORMAL LUNCH HOUR.

IF YOU ARE DRIVING, PLEASE BE AT THE SCHOOL AT 10:20.

This morning we practiced a logic problem, did a spelling assessment, and worked on adjectives and adverbs in grammar.  We continued running records for reading fluency and spent time in Structured Independent Reading.  Students visualized a part of their reading.  We then discussed genre.  HOMEWORK IS ALWAYS 30 MINUTES READING. Students will create posters of their genre, but I forgot to hand out the poster board!

Math reviewed mental addition up to the thousands.  We then worked more on the placement tests.  Over the weekend the teachers and I will meet to place students in appropriate levels. MATH HOMEWORK WAS A BONDING SHEET TO 100.

After a busy afternoon, we worked on the verbal intelligence by creating a very short story of the inside counties of Utah.  Students are learning how to mesh creativity with logic and words.  We will have a test identifying the counties soon.  HOMEWORK WAS TO FINISH WRITING THE STORY.
