Terrific Tuesday

This morning the students completed the Tuesday portion of the vocabulary sheet for the word of the week, previous.  Then, they practiced their keyboarding skills using Typing Club, since it is Typing Tuesday.  After the announcements, we switched for math.

Math began with  warm up involving geometric vocabulary.  After that, we reviewed last nightś homework.  Next, the students took a formative covering angle measurement and geometric vocabulary.

After the formative, the students completed a session of Xtra Math and then we played a game of Kahoot to review geometry vocabulary.  Next, the children enjoyed lunch and outdoor recess.

When they returned to math, we reviewed the formative and then proceeded with todayś focus lesson.  Today we identified rules for sorted polygons based on their attributes.

Homework is a link posted in GC.

After math, we began our literacy block with a writing lesson.  We reviewed the grading rubric for the personal narrative, item by item, and students were encouraged to ask questions.  After that, the students began writing their final versions, while I met with students who wanted help.  Then some students shared their writing while we ate snack.

Next, the students had time to work independently on any unfinished tasks.  These included; the text structure and cause and effect activities about economics, the opinion paragraph about fidget spinners, the graphic organizer about the European explorer they chose to research, and the final version of their personal narrative.

After that, we discussed our crabbing simulation game and how laws regulating production can effect business.  Then, the students wrote about the opportunity cost of the regulations facing the crabbers and whether or not it is fair.

Then, the students ended their day in art with Mrs. Daniell.
