Better late than never.. The missing man messed up my mojo and we were all strongly encouraged to leave campus immediately after the staff meeting.
Day 79 of our school year...
CNN students we continue plugging away on our note taking and inference skills. Students took notes on both the Dem.’s and Rep.’s versions on why unemployment continues to drop. They discussed how and why our US Navy saved an Iranian fishing boat from modern-day pirates and we learned more about corral reefs and saving ships.
45 minutes of open-ended project time -- students are getting close to completing and practicing for their Friday presentations. They will be given 90 minutes on Thursday to finish up their presentation and practice for Friday.
Spelling pretest -- here are this week’s words.
Math -- more entire class review on how to divide with fractions.
See the math notes from Thursday, Friday and the today. The class average today started out 40%. Many kids were missing the concepts. However I encouraged the kids to “flip off” the divisor and this seemed to help out.
Here are the notes.
Circle Time -- we discussed their weekend, their favorite word, and we had a discussion about being kind to one another, listening and being a “nice respectful person.”
P.E.
Students were given the 30+ minutes to document all of the homework for the week into their day planner.
We then spent some time discussing our letter and photos that came today from President Obama. He sent a quick inspirational cover letter, a map of the Whitehouse, a historical perspective of American art found in the Executive Branch and a question & answer sheet.
Wednesday is a short collaboration day so students go home early.
Kind regards,
