Another fun filled day!
LA: It was an odd sort of day with ISTEP+ testing back again. We had three tests today, all about Math. The students seemed MUCH more at ease this round, thankfully! We also started our novel study today, The Sign of the Beaver. We had a great time reading the first two chapters, highlighting our books (that's right, highlighting right on the pages...with permission, even!) and searching for examples of all sorts of literary elements. We discussed and found examples of things like similes, metaphors, colloquialism, imagery, suspense, tone, and flashbacks! Who knew there was so much to take note of in 2 short chapters! Wow! It is expected that your child has this book with them everyday until we are finished.
HW: Rest up for ISTEP+ testing tomorrow...just one test on Tuesday. Also-finish writing literary examples on the charts for our novel study. The final novel study packet and tic-tac-toe items are all due on May 15th. While ample class time will be given to accomplish these tasks, some work may have to be brought home to complete.
Math: No math today due to ISTEP+ testing-see you tomorrow.
Health: Welcome Ms. Grannan's Class, it's good to have you back! Today, we jumped right into chapter 6, lesson 1. We talked a lot about the differences between prescription and over the counter drugs. We also discussed in detail why it's important to take your own prescriptions, not those of family members or friends.
HW: Finish chapter 6, lesson check up 1-4. These answers must be written in cursive and be in complete sentences. (Most students finished this in class!)
Don't forget:
ISTEP+ will be given every day until Thursday. It's very important that if you child is healthy, they are at school. This will reduce the stress of having to reschedule make ups and taking your child out of class at a later date.
