Thursday

We've almost made it through another great week!

Please place a star next to your signature on the planner if you're reading this! I hope you are all finding this easy and helpful daily!

Spanish Club and Girls on the Run are 2 new clubs we are offering!! If you need more info. about either please email me and I will get the info. for you!

*I've added to the games link on the right. It's the games we've been playing in class and the ones I've posted from previous posts. Also, be sure to check out my WebPage from the GSE websites spot to find lots more! :)

Math:  Today was great in math! I was able to pull small groups along with our assistant, Mrs. Powell to really help students 'get' what they need the most help on with factors and multiples! We practiced a LOT of word problems with factors, multiples, prime, and composite similar to the ones they will find on the test. Students also took their 3's multiplication facts quiz. I haven't had a chance to look at them yet - but hopefully they are great!  We will be having our Unit test either Wednesday or Thursday of next week.  I am going to see how they do on the study guide on Monday before making the decision.  We will also have our 9's facts quiz next Thursday.
No HW but to study for multiplication facts!
*Remember - the Multiplication Bee is Oct. 5th! :)

Reading: Today students took their Treasures Assessment over summaries, compound words and sentences, and main idea.  Next students had extra time to read from their Lit. Novels.  I also got some time to do fluency conferences with some students. I will be conducting this on Thursdays along with the Comprehension/Fluency running records the students do every other Monday with Mrs. Giles. The students I met with today were awesome readers! :) No HW

Below are some pictures of us reading

our different Literature Novels:

Science: Today we presented our Ecosystem/Food Web projects. They look awesome!! We got in small groups and let other students read about our different webs and what would happen if one of the consumers weren't there! Kids did a great job! Next, we took a Candy Quiz! Students used the white boards to hold up the answers and if they got the correct answer they earned a Jolly Rancher! Some students earned up to 4 Jolly Ranchers!! (the picture is to the left!)
No HW

Writing: Today we continued Memoir Conferences with me.  Students were either silent reading AR books or writing and working on their memoirs.
No HW

*SS: We will be having a short test on compass rose, latitude/longetude, and reading maps tomorrow!

Have a great night!
