I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving!
This morning students received new spelling words and did some word work activities with them.
In math we reviewed how to regroup for subtraction using base ten blocks. Students should be practicing their addition and subtraction at home too. They can also access Mathletics for practice work in this area.
Please ask me what I did in music today.
In gym we played "running chaser" and "fortress."
In science we finished off our sound stations, and talked more about what causes vibration.
This afternoon we talked about self-reflection and self-evaluating our own work. Ms. Russell showed us a target with a red circle, yellow circle, and green circle in the middle. Once in awhile she will give us the target to fill out for a piece of work we did. We are checking our work for capitals, punctuation, complete sentences, spelling, neatness, pictures, as well as our ideas and words. Then we will give ourselves a check mark on the target: Green - "I made it!" Yellow - "I'm almost there..." and Red - "I need to keep going..."We had library today also.
Have a great afternoon,
Ms. Russell
