Tuesday

Good Afternoon!
I received a pretty good report from the sub yesterday! The morning was not as good as the afternoon, but today has been wonderful! :)  I'm happy to report Harper is growing on track and everything went well with her appointment! :)

FYI:
Mrs. Maldonado's MATH class - test has been moved to Thursday
Book Fair begins next week!
Miss Rickard's first "solo" day is tomorrow. PLEASE encourage your children to show her the same respect they show to me! This is a hard day for a student teacher! :)
GSE Chow Night is Thursday at Fazoli's

Science:
Students learned the difference between weather and climate.  Students finished filling out their study guide.
HW: continue to study the packet for the test on Friday, complete study guide if needed

Reading:
Today in reading we continued our mythology unit. The kids are so in to this and we are having a great time! This is our first year to ever teach this, as it is in the new standards, and it has been so much fun creating this unit! Today we discussed the hierarchy of the gods and goddesses.  Students read a play to explain more of this and they performed! They were great! Students also worked on their vocab. packets.
HW: using the play, list who the characters are, fill out the family tree in the mythology packet

Math:
WoW! Great class today! We worked on improper fractions and mixed numbers and changing each to one another. This is a hard concept and all of the kids did a great job paying attention and working hard! They earned a 5 minute smart board game on Fractions from my websites to the right of this blog!
HW: using the practice page from class, complete your fractions page (students have different problems based on how well they understood the concept), please sign

Writing:
We went over the student sensory writing from yesterday. They were very interesting! We worked more on sensory writing and how it can help us in our writing and in our reading.  Since students had Library, they were able to have 15 minutes of DEAR time with their new books.
No HW

Have a good night,
