Math Madness in March…Today we kicked-off a March math event. The whole elementary school is going to spend the month of March focusing on math and math facts. We are starting with a nightly math homework challenge. The students will have math homework every night in March with incentives to finish it and return it on time the next day. I am looking forward to lots of math fun!
Spelling…. This weeks words are on the yellow list - extra words are career and degree.
Word a Day… WAD this week Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Reading… we are using our Guided Reading groups and daily five reading activities everyday. This week everyone is reading together the story, The Chalk Box Kid by Clyde Robert Bulla
Math… We are finishing up Chapter 6 and will have a test on Wednesday.
Grammar… we are into our next unit Learning About Verbs.
Social Studies/Science…
SS…we will work on Map Skills this week and a Time For Kids.
SCI We will be reading and learning about rocks and today we have begun the Careers in Science project. Students will be researching careers in science. The following website http://www.sciencebuddies.org/ lists many science careers and answers the questions on the careers in science worksheet quite easily. I have taken time in class to help explain to students how to navigate the website. Students may search other websites to find other careers in science they are interested in that may not be listed here. Along with the worksheets, a poster created in class will reflect the career they are most interested in.
This project will be due on Monday, March 14th.
Students may research up 5 careers for an A, 4 careers for a B, 3 careers for a C, 2 careers for a D and 1 for an F.
Show and tell … GIRLS only on Friday.
Reading Counts - Points earned to this date in March are stapled to the inside of the folder on the left.
