5/8/18
We chose to have some P.E. time at the beginning of this beautiful day! The class took out the jump ropes and had a blast! With only 4 more in-class days together, I wanted them to soak up the sun and laughter as much as they could this morning!
After the pledge, the class worked on their independent math study. Even though some of them may be wrapping up their math at home, please continue to send in enough math for class! I do have some material here to share, but it would be better tailored to your child's needs if it was sent from home.
The class then split up into their language arts groups. Both groups took their spelling test for list 32, worked on their vocabulary lessons to prepare for the next test, and discussed their at-home reading comprehension exercise. This week's reading comprehension page correlated with their science lessons. I loved hearing the kids talk about how much they already knew because of Ms. Sally's class. They went on and on talking about how Ms. Sally has tricked them into learning so much, but it just felt like FUN! These students have done an amazing job over these last few weeks with their reading comprehension practice. Their accuracy has improved, but more importantly, their essays have matured! I am very proud of them!
In Ms. Hilary's class, the group spent their time creating a history timeline. They worked on putting historical events in chronological order, and they created new pages in their history interactive notebooks. They will be given a review test next week, and these notebooks will be a great review! Once the entire group came together for history class, the kids presented their biography projects on important women in American history.
Next, we had art with Ms. Nancy. The class worked on making rainmakers. First, they created spirals of aluminum foil. They then placed them inside paper towel tubes, uncoiled them enough to reach both ends, and added rice. Once they closed off the ends, they began decorating! They will finish these up next week and bring them home once they are dry.
