Quick and smooth days, just how I like ’em.

 

The day absolutely flew by.  We spent our morning on math centers, and talked again about ways to split up wholes using decimals.  I’m very happy with the progress our students are making here.

In Language Arts we read some more Mysterious Benedict Society and discovered quite a few new things about Mr. Curtain’s diabolical plot.

In Science we made quick work of measuring our plants, and they looked VERY nice today after a good drink from yesterday’s storms.  Our data is showing that many of our plants are growing at 1cm per day, which is good progress.  I was very happy with how well the students handled being outside with our gardens today.  We had no problems like yesterday, and the measuring and checking went very smoothly.

As it is Friday, our day was also peppered with quizzes on all sorts of things: multiplication, decimals, word problems, reading comprehension, drawing conclusions, plants, ecosystems, food webs, the whole shebang.

While I try to keep these quizzes as short and to the point as possible, I’m sure the students are tired at this point.  They worked hard today, and it was a good day.  Please let them know you are as proud of them as I am.

Also remember there is no school on Monday, so enjoy your looooong weekend.  I know I will!
