How in the world is it Thursday already?
We spent a good chunk of the morning finishing up our weather research. Students should be ready to start writing at this point, and we will get into that next week. We might do one more day of book research, but our time in the computer lab has come to an end.
In math we again beat that horse of making sure our answers make sense. It’s not quite dead, but it’s definitely on life support at this point.
The students have 4 more word problems to finish tonight. They have been instructed that their first and last steps should be to look at the actual question (that sentence in the problem with the question mark), and ensure that their final response actually answers that question.
In language arts, we are still talking about the different types of figurative language. I was much happier with the figurative language examples that they turned in today. Remember that tomorrow is Friday, which means we have a story using their bio words, and that there is almost DEFINITELY a quiz or two to be had on the things we worked on this week.
In case you lost them, here are the words:
that was pretty short and sweet, but here’s the tldr;
4 math problems
one short story using the bio words
as always, they should also read for 35 minutes and fill out their reading log.
See everyone tomorrow!
