Announcements:
Little Inventors is over now, so be sure to ask your student what his or her invention was, and cross your fingers that they'll be chosen to win the contest and have their invention come to life! Because of all the missed days this year, we are a little behind in math. In order to catch up, we're pausing science for a few week to make sure we cover all of math. To make this extra math time a little easier to swallow, Mrs. Charlebois and I are switching classes for an hour a day for math time. They'll still have regular math with me, but they'll do the catch-up math with Mrs. Charlebois. We plan everything together and do everything the same way every day, so it won't be too much of a shift. Reading: We continued working on theme this week, but the kids enjoyed it. We use picture books because they often have very clear and defined themes, although even then it can be quite tricky. If have have time this weekend, read a picture book or two with your student and see if he or she can find the theme. Have them look out for the actions, emotions, or lessons that appear again and again in the book. Writing: We're still working on the five paragraph essay, but we're still in the planning stage. It's the most important part, but the most often overlooked. Math: We're measuring angles now! The kids are doing a great job understanding degrees and angles, and next week we break out the protractors. Social Studies: What is culture? It's the things that are normal to a group of people. We learned about all the different parts of culture tonight and the kids got a chance to talk about all the things that are a part of their culture and the culture of Richmond, Michigan, and the United States. Science: Like I said above, science this week was finishing Little Inventors, and then we started switching to do some catch up math. The kids worked on line plots with Ms. Charlebois, which is a way to track information. Comments are closed.
