Tomorrow it is back to our regularly scheduled programs. Today was another mixed up day.
We started with specials. Then we had language arts. We sorted spelling words by the soft c/soft g sound. We then had Vocab Vine. Today our focus was on the suffix able (able to) and the prefix re- (again, back) Then we were off to content!
Science~
Science 1 went to the planetarium today to learn about outer space. We learned
about stars, planets, rotation, revolution and lots of other topics. Students
took a pretest and a post test over the program. These tests will not count on
their report cards. It was for the planetarium use. We didn't even get the
tests back.
Math~
Our focus today continued to be fractions. In order to understand fractions we have to understand what the whole or one represents. 1/2 does not mean the same thing in all situations. We used pattern blocks to demonstrate this idea. We didn't finish the lesson.
HW: None
Language Arts~
We reviewed our spelling worksheet. We worked on helping and main verbs in Grammar. We partner read the story and then filled out a Venn diagram together. We looked for ways that the two organizations mentioned in the article were the same and different.
HW: Continue working on weekly homework! Book orders are due tomorrow.
