Wednesday, 13 November 2013

This morning we started our cursive packets.  Students have 5-10 minutes each morning to work on them.  A grab bag awaits completed packets.  They cannot be done sloppily.  We worked on plural and singular subject/verb agreement, synonyms/antonyms, and homonyms.  We also completed a spelling font activity and worked on 3-point paragraphs.  STUDENTS SHOULD COMPLETE THEIR PARAGRAPHS TONIGHT SO THEY CAN BE TYPED TOMORROW.

READING HOMEWORK IS CHAPTER 16.

Math was fun!!!  We dressed models in a new proper Arches Academy uniform and discussed what was proper and improper.  Models dressed in more or the same number of  items on top than on bottom were in improper uniform.  Those dressed in less items on top were in proper uniform.  We took pictures for the website.  We learned how to change mixed numbers to improper fractions and vice versa.  MATH HOMEWORK WAS A WORKSHEET. (THAT SAID, TWO OR THREE KIDS DIDN'T RECEIVE IT...SO THEY CAN WORK ON IT TOMORROW. IT IS 2 1/2 = ___3/2, ETC.)

For History today, students set a goal, used iPads, and researched like crazy!  We found maps, food, weather, and facts about our various explorers. STUDENTS SHOULD BE RESEARCHING THEIR EXPLORERS AT HOME.  FOUR GROUPS NEED TO BRING IN A TREASURE CHEST TO COLLECT ARTIFACTS.

Fourth Graders worked on Writer's Workshop, finishing up stories.  Great day!
