Terrific Tuesday - Happy Halloween

This morning, the students completed the Tuesday portion of the vocabulary sheet for our word of the week, propose.  Then, they practiced their keyboarding skills.  While they worked, I continued the monthly reading testing with a few students.  After the announcements, we switched for math.

We began math with 2 division word problems to warm up our math brains.  After that, we reviewed last night's homework.  Then, we took the week 7 formative covering division with remainders.  These have been graded and returned to students.  Please look for them in the math section this evening.

After enjoying lunch and recess, we reviewed today's formative.  Then we did a quick, whole group math lesson, using multiplication to help solve 3- and 4-digit division problems.

After math we began our literacy block.  Today the students worked independently while I finished the October reading assessments with individuals.

First, the students reread the article, "Out of  Shattered Land", and paraphrased specific details from the text, identifying the effects of the two brothers leaving Syria and coming to the US.  After that, they had time to finish revising their persuasive pieces, using their partners feedback from yesterday.  Then, they had ONE last day to finish their science paragraph explaining how two organisms rely on one another.  Finally, they worked through a Flocabulary assignment about possessive nouns.

After our literacy block, we celebrated Halloween.  First, we had a parade, and then, we had an awesome party.

The students ended their day in art with Mrs. Daniell.

NO HOMEWORK today!
