It has been a great start to the school year! I've enjoyed reconnecting with old friends and meeting new friends. I am sure that it is going to be a great year!
The blog has a couple of changes. The one that I am most excited about is that you can now enter your email address at the blog and whenever I update the blog it will be sent directly to your email account. Now you can catch up with what is going on in our classroom just by checking your email. You can also now search the blog by using the search box. Thank you Mrs. Helman (Mrs. Wood's student teacher) for the help!
Language Arts:
Today we went to music and then to the library. We came back to the classroom and continued to read Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. We have all been excited to read this book that is based in Greek mythology. We took a vocabulary quiz where the students pick the 5 words they want to learn. We also answered questions about chapter 3 and updated our timelines.
HW: Finish comprehension questions, study for vocabulary quiz, and read for 20-30 minutes.
Math:
Today we continued our work with factors and divisibility. We played a game called Factor Captor. We earn points by finding all the factors for a number. We also talked about how factors, divisibility and rectangular arrays are all connected.
HW: Study Link 1.4 and Math Boxes 1.4
Science:
Today we previewed the chapter "How do Earth and it's moon create cycles?" We will be learning all about cycles in nature that are created by the rotation and revolution of earth. We also reviewed vocabulary in the chapter.
HW: None
