So sorry that I didn't blog yesterday. I had a meeting afterschool and then had to dash to another meeting somewhere else. Thanks for understanding.
Language Arts.
We are back to a normal schedule. This week we are working on run-on sentences, long O words, and story elements. We are reading a realistic fiction story called "The Raft" Fluency and Flow has been assigned and is due on Friday. Here are the expectations:
1. Read aloud to a parent and get a parent's signature in the highlighted area.
2. Answer the questions at the end of the story. Kids should have written down the page number of the question.
3. A parent signature of the word workout will do.
4. Fill in the missing story elements on the skill page.
5. (Optional for extra credit) Turn one set of story elements into a story.
Math
We are back to the normal schedule. Today we worked on estimation and played a game that reinforced estimation skills. We will see the game again on Friday.
Study Link 2.7 was assigned for homework. Pages 48+49 were assigned in class and were homework if the student didn't complete the work.
Science
Yesterday we started studying electricity. We learned that electricity needs to have a complete circuit in order to turn on a light bulb or make a motor run. Today we figured out how a switch effects the circuit and what a schematic drawing is used for.
There will be an open-note test on Friday over magnets and what we have learned about electricity so far.
