Monday,10 March 2014 - Country Speech Project for this Thursday and Friday
This morning we created a grammar bulletin board to help us become more familiar with prepositions and helping verbs. Students continued writing stories, in anticipation for Writing Rally later this week.
Students are working hard on their Book Report #2. A little every day counts for a lot! CONTINUE READING 30 MINUTES EVERY DAY.
MATH HOMEWORK IS THE FIRST TWO PAGES OF THE REVIEW. We will be reviewing graphing algebraic equations for the next few days. Also coordinate charting. PLEASE GET ON TO XTRAMATH.COM AND WORK ON YOUR BASIC FACTS. Students do make progress when they do those 10 minutes every day. They gain confidence and their math accuracy rises.
This afternoon, after drama and music, we learned about the Great Wall of China. Students reviewed the requirements for their speeches and made appointments for Thursday afternoon and Friday afternoon. The schedule is on the whiteboard in our classroom. Students will be graded on the rubric below.
In Science the focus is on the Nervous System.

Due Tomorrow:
Spelling crossword puzzle (many students have already completed this)
Math: one problem of algebra
Writing: Persuasive paragraph - typed and illustrated (most students have completed this)
Read 30 minutes and take notes for Book Report #2
Continue on Country Speech.
Today was a heavy writing day. Students are becoming very familiar with structured writing. Encourage them to give more details in their supporting sentences. Tomorrow we are looking forward to playing "Sparkle" in spelling.
Math introduced the concept of letters being numbers. Students are bonding 9 = l + w and 3 + n = 7, etc. Tomorrow we will use concrete objects to manipulate algebraic multiplication: q = 4 x shoes, etc.
In history we learned about different cultures that have contributed to Utah. We talked about the language difficulties and health code standards that are different for immigrants. We pulled deductions from photographs. Students then researched more on their countries.
