This morning we wrote in our journals, were introduced to helping verbs (HV), and began another 3-point paragraph. The paragraph is either "Things I am Thankful for" or " My Favorite Thanksgiving Foods". We received and sorted new spelling lists with new spelling patterns. Remember, students may move quickly on spelling if they choose. They have an extra list to practice at home. Remind them to bring it home. We began chapter 14 from Summer of the Monkeys. READING HOMEWORK IS TO FINISH CHAPTER 14. ALSO, STUDENTS MAY GO ONTO RAZ-KIDS.COM AT HOME. READING TIME IS 30 MINUTES DAILY.
Math was rough. We learned so much:
1. The number 1 divides to make 2/2, 4/4, 10/10, etc.
2. A mixed number is a place on the number line.
3. Improper fractions are bigger than one.
4. Proper fractions are smaller than one.
5. We can change improper fractions to mixed numbers and mixed numbers to improper fractions.
6. HOMEWORK IS EXERCISE 8 AND 9 (WE DID MANY EXAMPLES IN CLASS. I will review these concepts heavily during the next few days.)
We were so lucky today! We attended "Jack Frost", a Russian Cinderella play put on by UVU's Noorda Theater. Thank you to all who drove.
After a fun Red-Rover recess with 2/3, we learned about the spice trade, Arab secrets, monopolies, peninsulas, archipelagos, etc. STUDENTS HAVE ONE PAGE OF HISTORY WRITING TO COMPLETE NOTES ON. SOME STUDENTS ARE USING HIGHLIGHTERS, OTHERS DRAWING ON PARAGRAPHS WHAT IS IMPORTANT, AND OTHERS WRITING NOTES. Tonight, make sure your child experiments a bit with spices. Maybe they can find out where their spices come from.
