Special thank yous to Hayden who was our SUPER STAR STUDENT for our substitute yesterday! I came in in the afternoon when Ms. Collins was leaving and she was absolutely singing her praises! Thank you so much Hayden, for being a super example of what a phenomenal role model and leader is!
Also, honorable mentions to Tori, Kiyah, Shellby, Warren, Tyler, and Emilee who also had excellent reports as well!
READING:
Since today is THURSDAY, students had "project finish day" which is a day where they have time to complete any assignments they did not get finished in group rotations throughout the week. I also checked in with literature circles and went over role sheets to ensure completion. I still had about 5 friends not do their work, so they will have some work to complete and chapters to read over the weekend. I hate to give so much to do but when we don't do our work and others do, it really puts a damper on plans for the group.
Tomorrow, we will be taking our mini-assessment over "Cause & Effect" and students will also have their vocabulary/ spelling tests as well.
HOMEWORK: complete, "Proverbial Cause" stapled passages and questions. Also, STUDY for vocabulary and spelling tests tomorrow!
MATH:
We reviewed our math quizzes from yesterday and I worked with the students on creating a model '4' of an open-response question to score a peer's. In Ms. Frederick's class, students moved onto addition of fractions with LIKE denominators.
HOMEWORK: "Adding Fractions" sheet for MS. FREDERICK'S CLASS ONLY. MY class will be retaking another fraction quiz since many did not show work on the one yesterday...it's hard to take a math test without doing any work!! :o)
SCIENCE:
Students took a preview/ review quiz with Ms. Frederick over what they learned this week which was radiation, convection, and conduction.
HOMEWORK: look over reviuew quiz to prepare for test tomorrow.
WRITING:
We are FINALLY drafting our very first publishable piece...or at least, it will be in the end...hopefully! Students could choose from 5 prompts:
1) My role model is:___________
2) My favorite teacher is:____________
3) If I could change one thing about the world, it'd be:_________________
4) If I could go back in time, I'd go back to:_____________________
5) When I grow up, I want to be a:_____________________
HOMEWORK: none!
Have a terrific night! Only 3 more days until the Super Bowl! What will YOUR favorite commerical be?!?
xoxo,
Mrs. Thomas
