1.3.13

Happy Thursday, all!

MATH:
We completed our focus upon symmetry and will move into polygons and more in-depth Geometry tomorrow (symmetry was just our intro).  Students took a quiz over symmetry and we also worked on our multiplication facts.  Thankfully, many students followed instructions in completing their timed tests last night and rewriting the missed facts 5 x each.
HOMEWORK: Rewrite every single (even the blank ones) missed fact 5 times each!  Repetition promotes fluency with these facts and students HAVE GOT TO GET THEM MEMORIZED, WITHOUT EXCEPTION.  Also, please take a practice test (3 min.) and get it signed by an adult!

READING:
Students continued with goal setting with Mr. Featherston and also using a text to find answers to questions.
HOMEWORK: complete Quiz over New Year's celebrations in other cultures.  

PM ACTIVITIES:
We worked on writing an imaginative narrative by brainstorming a crazy animal (that's not usually a pet) we could imagine to have.  We will be writing a story based on our ideas.

GET READING LOGS SIGNED!  

Have a thrilling Thursday evening!
xoxo,
Mrs. Thomas
