Countdown to Field Day! \u00a03 days to go!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In Math today, we talked a bit more about division involving decimals, but it seems that the students are doing very well here, and we are probably moving on tomorrow. \u00a0I had planned to move on to strategies for comprehension when it comes to word problems……<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
HOWEVER…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today when we had to double check an answer that involved multiplying decimals, it became quite clear that we still have some gaps there. \u00a0As such, we will probably be doing that for the rest of this short week.<\/p>\n
Students should finish the final two rows of their converting decimals to fractions worksheet tonight.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In Language Arts, we started reading a new selection about electromagnets, and maglevs. \u00a0We are really working on reading comprehension, so we will continue to do short reading passages, and then answer comprehension and critical thinking questions afterwards.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Students should complete pages 255 & 256 in their motivation reading books tonight. \u00a0EXCEPT for question 3, and question 5. \u00a0After we talk more as a class, I would like them to look at these questions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In Science, we are still talking about the weather, and today we read a short passage about the job of meteorologist.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Finally, we watched a short video about the process of turning fossil fuels into electricity, as we had some questions about that from our reading last week.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Students took home an updated itinerary for the field trip next Friday. \u00a0Please make sure you see it in their Monday folders!<\/p>\n
