Another day, another homework post!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We actually had a great morning, followed by a bit of a rough afternoon! \u00a0Talking out unfortunately had us go from negative 2 to positive 4 in just 15 short minutes. \u00a0This meant we had four laps to do at recess. \u00a0Much grumbling ensued.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In math, we worked more on fractions, and today started talking about finding areas of rectangles with fractional sides. \u00a0This will lead us back to a real discussion of multiplying fractions.<\/p>\n
The students’ homework tonight is to do page 67 in their motivation math book. \u00a0This should mostly be review, but will give me a good indication of where they are in their understandings so far. \u00a0A fair amount of students said they had lost or thrown away their motivation math books. \u00a0Hopefully they can find them at home, or they will have to purchase new ones.<\/p>\n
MathPage67Mar13<\/a><\/p>\n In language arts we had to spend some time re-doing their comparison charts from yesterday. \u00a0Many students are still struggling with using evidence to support their statements. \u00a0When forced to produce evidence, many find that their statements don’t make any sense. \u00a0We will continue working on this.<\/p>\n We then worked on quite a few poems written from the point of view of animals. \u00a0Here are the five poems the students were given in their groups. \u00a0Can you identify what animal’s voice is telling the poem?<\/p>\n POVPoems<\/a><\/p>\n Could you tell? \u00a0If not, here <\/a>are the answers!<\/p>\n For Language Arts students are to write their own poem from the point of view of an animal. \u00a0They may pick any animal they like. \u00a0The poem must be at MINIMUM five lines, and I would prefer it rhymes, but that is not definite. \u00a0We will be revising this and working on it more tomorrow.<\/p>\n In science, we are still working on work and power. \u00a0The students have a review worksheet for vocabulary, and then they also went onto the messageboard, watched some study jams, and posted back with something they learned. \u00a0Feel free to go here<\/a> to check out their responses.
