In Math, we worked on estimating differences. On the homework, students need to be careful to follow the directions to make sure they are rounding when they are asked to and finding exact answers on other parts that just say "Subtract."
In Social Studies, we reviewed the capitals of the West and Southwest states. Students will be quizzed on those on Thursday. It will be a matching quiz. We also looked at a product map of Michigan, and the students created their own product maps.
This week, we are working on abbreviations of months, days, titles of people, and addresses. We will also be getting a start on a new writing assignment. Each student will write directions for how to do something they are good at or enjoy doing that someone else may not know how to do. Students just need to be prepared to tell me what their topic will be for that writing assignment. Here are some examples: proper posture and form when playing piano, directions for hunting safety, how to shoot a layup.
Book projects are due in a couple weeks, so students should start working to finish their books and start their projects if they haven't yet. Students are bringing home today their rubric with their score for how they did on the first book project. Directions for each project is in their homework folder.
I would love to have some parent helpers on Wednesday and Thursday for Literacy time (12:30-1:30). We'll be working on writing directions, reading the story of the week, and doing Reader's Theater. Let me know if you are interested in helping and if there is a certain activity you would be most interested in helping with.
Homework for today is...
