Sorry for the late post tonight! Here's what we did today:
Math-We learned about prime and composite numbers and talked about how divisibility and factors play into whether a number is prime or composite.
Word Study-I met with Groups 3 and 4 to do their word sort while Groups 1 and 2 did a room search for words that fit into their sorts.
Reading-We re-read Thunder Cake and focused on setting today. We discussed how in some fictional stories the setting is very important to the story and may change it completely, while in other stories the setting is not as important. In Thunder Cake the farm setting is very important and the story would be very different if it took place in a city.
Writing-We discussed what to look for when revising each paragraph and set some revision goals. We will spend the remainder of this week revising our essays.
We also got to watch the opening of the Truman Time Capsule. It was buried in 2000 and had some very interesting items inside such as old papers, buttons, and pictures!
Homework:
Math-WS 16.3, evens in the first 2 sections and all of the 3rd section and MR--I am planning on a Chapter 16 test on Friday, but that will change if there is a snow day. Check the blog for updates!
Reading-Groups meet on Thursday.
Social Studies-Chapter 5 test is on Thursday. Packet is also due Thursday. The students have the study guide (last page of the packet). I am planning to go over this on Wednesday and test on Thursday.
Have a great night and stay warm and safe!
