This morning we discovered many ways to make a cursive "X", reviewed grammar skills, a and an rules, and moved straight to our 3-point paragraphs. We brainstormed many ways to create a descriptive sentence, using the five senses and feelings. Tomorrow we will type the paragraphs and illustrate them.
READING HOMEWORK IS CHAPTER 11. This is an important chapter because it leads into chapter 12 with the setting continuation.
MATH HOMEWORK IS EXERCISE 4. We go very quickly to converting fractions and reducing fractions. It generally takes a few days before the concepts are cemented. Today we worked with special bars and blocks, finding equivalent fractions.
Drama and music led into Personal Development. We evaluated the Native American Unit, distributed awards, and applied the Covery 7 Habits to our performance. Some groups started many projects and finished few. Others focused on a few projects, did them well, and were able to move on. We had six students receive the Golden Arrow Award and 11 receive the Silver Tipi Award. The focus of the lesson was to stress our positive traits. All of us have negative and positive traits. When we compare ourselves against others, our negative traits seem to be magnified. It is important to realize that everyone has positive traits and that we are no exception. Focus on our positive traits.
We also recorded what we know about explorers and a few things we want to know about them. These next few weeks will be a LOT of content. Exploration begins tomorrow!
Thanks for all your support.
