What a wonderful day!
Language Arts - We reviewed language arts skills and then read chapters 25-27 in Maniac Magee. It seems that Maniac has found another family. We then did the worksheets for those chapters and worked on the following vocabulary from the book: mosey, prompt, abruptly, blarney, coot, grouse, mangled, portable, knack, and orneriest. There will be a quiz coming up soon!
We went to music and gym today. By the way - Students will have a music test next Thursday. They have a review sheet that they should be studying.
Math - Today we practiced dividing with decimals. Please remember that it doesn't matter to me what type of division you do. We also made magnitude estimates to help us figure out where the decimals end up. Homework is Study Link 4.4 and it is exactly what we did in class this morning. Remember that each problem requires you to do three things: 1. write a number model that shows how you can estimate the answer 2. Circle the place value the answer is and 3. Actually solve the problem.
Bus Safety - Today we watched a video about how to behave on the bus and what to do in case of an emergency. We then practiced exiting the bus in a safe manner.
