In Math, we worked on adding three-digit numbers with regrouping. In Social Studies, we discussed elections and some of the jobs of the President. The students also shared their state books with one another. This week, we are working with singular possessive nouns. In Art, we added another element of art. We've worked on line and shape. Today, we started focusing on value. We looked at two paintings called Whistler's Mother by James Whistler and Woman with Crossed Arms from Picasso's blue period. The students identified dark values and light values in the paintings. They learned that adding white to a color makes a tint and adding black to a color makes a shade. They will be creating different values with a color of paint later on. Today they drew the pictures they'll paint.
Students can retake the 50 states quiz on Friday. Check your students' graded work coming home today to see how they scored. They can study more this week and retake the quiz on Friday to get a better score.
The Chapter 2 Math test is this Thursday. Tomorrow, the students will get to vote in our school's mock election! We will not be doing literacy centers this week, so parent volunteers don't have to come in for that time! We'll be packing Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes during part of that time. The Veteran's Day assembly is this Friday at 2:00.
Homework for today is...
