Thursday

Good Afternoon! :)
*New Behavior ~ In an effort to keep the kids on task and giving me quality work until the break, students are working towards EARNING 20 points before next Friday.  If they earn their points they will get to enjoy a movie. If not, they will use that time working on review math and reading assignments.  Students simply earn points by following directions and giving their best effort on assignments. Very easy! :)
*Don't forget to contact Mandy Long to help with the Holiday Party next Thursday! :)

Math: Today we worked for a long time on mean, median, mode, and range. We were in the middle of a UK basketball activity but were unable to finish it so we will on Monday.  The students are really having a hard time with this even with the amount of practice. PLEASE watch/check your child's HW!
HW: 3 pages (all with examples) of mean/median that are stapled together

Reading: Today we took the Vocab Quiz (much better this week!!), our sequence PAS probe, and read in the literature books. We also played a grammar review jeopardy game over grammar skills we've learned so far in reading.
No HW

Science: Students finished up their games on the Earth-Sun systems. The games are SO creative! I'm impressed!
No HW

Writing: Students are almost finished writing their letters! Are you?! :)  Some students even turned in their final draft today.  We also went over one more time the scoring rubric I will be using to grade their papers.  Students know exactly what to do to get an A!
No HW

Have a good night,
