Today was a bit of a roller coaster<\/p>\n
We had an absolutely amazing morning, where we got 6 paws in the hallway just on our way to Science. \u00a0Then on the way back, however, we had to practice walking in straight, quiet lines.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We did very well during math centers, and we got to talk quite a bit about area, and how we can find missing sides of a rectangle given area or perimeter, and one side.<\/p>\n
For homework tonight, students have but a single problem. \u00a0I expect it to be done perfectly:<\/p>\n
Please draw a rectangle with the following properties:<\/p>\n
One side equal to 5cm, and a total perimeter of 60 cm<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In Language Arts we read a short text about hiccups, where we talked about genre, and point of view. \u00a0We had a very lively discussion about whether the text was written in first, second, or third person point of view. \u00a0We didn’t even come to a consensus by the end of the discussion. \u00a0Many students had very valid points for their belief that the text was written in first or second person. \u00a0How about you? \u00a0What do you think?<\/p>\n
Hiccups_Oct29<\/a><\/p>\n For homework tonight, students should finish this short packet, answering the questions with reasoning. \u00a0They should also finish questions 9-14 on pages 124 and 125 in their Motivation Reading books.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In Science, we finally finished discussing the cardiovascular system in small groups. \u00a0Many students had really good questions about how blood, arteries, veins, and your heart work together, and why they are moving about in the first place.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I had promised the students some quiet reading time, so after that we quickly measured our plants, and then took a vote on what we will do for our celebration of earning our Gold medal (We earned our first jewel today by the way!). \u00a0We are a tad behind with celebrations, so we’ll try to get a few done in the next few weeks!<\/p>\n The students ultimately decided upon extra recess, so we’ll have a super-long recess period on Friday!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n so, tl;dr<\/p>\n One math problem:<\/p>\n Please draw a rectangle with the following properties:<\/p>\n One side equal to 5cm, and a total perimeter of 60 cm<\/p>\n <\/p>\n finish Hiccup packet<\/p>\n Hiccups_Oct29<\/a><\/p>\n Questions 8-14 on pages 123\/124 of their motivation math books<\/p>\n <\/p>\n and as always, read for 35 minutes!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Also a quick reminder about parent teacher conferences. \u00a0Many people have already signed up, and I look forward to talking with you in the upcoming days! \u00a0If the spots fill up completely I will add more, and please remember that if none of those times work for you, I am here most days at 6:30 and stay until around 5pm, so if there is a time that works for you, simply let me know and I’ll figure something out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Have a good one!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n -Mr. Potter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today was a bit of a roller coaster We had an absolutely amazing morning, where we got 6 paws in the hallway just on our way to Science. \u00a0Then on the way back, however, we had to practice walking in straight, quiet lines.
