Wednesday are our big day of getting things done. Especially if we do not have the weather to allow us to have a nice afternoon walk.
We began the day working on more comprehension work from last week’s Paul Revere story. We discussed the difference between opinions and factions. We took that lesson further and discussed how an author’s perspective or point of view will influence what you are reading (both facts and opinions).
This lead us to a Brainpop regarding on-line resources, how to verify and how to discover if you are using a legitimate source.
This lead to discussions regarding:
The Northwestern Tree Octopus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Northwest_tree_octopus
Why you should rarely use yahoo answers, ask.com forum and answers.com
Why wikipedia is a legitimate starting point and a great source of information.
We then went over the grammar and the vocabulary practice book pages for the week. Therefore students have a large head start on the Thursday and Friday homework (we covered about 1/3rd of the questions while in class).
Math
Subtracting with mixed numbers.
Here are today’s notes.
Math -- surface area lesson w/ Mrs. Cargo
After lunch we rotated the following three areas:
25 minutes on www.scootpad.com Language ARts -- heavy on comma, vocabulary and proper grammar lessons
25 minutes on www.ixl.com
25 minutes of working on homework w/ Miss Sandy or myself or reading for enjoyment.
Tomorrow we have a special PE morning session. So wear appropriate shoes and warm clothes.
We also are doing an in-class spelling competition to find our top three spellers for Friday’s big shin-dig.
Kind regards,
Mr. Hubbard
