Hello,
In Math we have been reviewing our unit to prepare for Thursday's evaluation. The students worked in partners to create questions and quiz one another. We also worked on the whiteboards on a variety of questions and the students had a chance to ask any questions about concepts they were having difficulty understanding. The only homework for tonight is to review the Math activities from this unit to prepare for the evaluation activity.
In Language, we finished typing our recount paragraphs and we have been peer editing with a partner, to check for spelling and grammar errors, and giving suggestions to add more detail in certain areas of the text. The students took turns working on the chromebooks to complete this task and then wrote sentences in their Language duotangs, using a variety of Word Wall Words. I will post a full list of the new words we have been using tomorrow.
In Religion, we shared some of our experiences from the weekend and discussed the many things for which we are truly thankful.
Finally, for our next Art activity, we are describing a monster, or creature, who knocks on our door on Halloween. Our goal is to use all of our five senses and vivid detail. Next, we are drawing a picture of the monster, based on the description. It is a fun, and sometimes gross, assignment.
Have a great day.
Mr. Skinner
