We started the day off by graphing the temperature, and reading the morning message. Today we looked at synonyms, homonyms, and antonyms in the morning message. After discussing the message we went to our desks and practiced more division, by drawing sketches to show a division sentence.
We then went to Gym with Mr. Costa. When we came back we did our Math Groups. One group did division activities in the textbook, one group used rulers to measure the perimeter of various shapes, one group built skeletons of 3d -solids to see clearly the number of vertices and edges in various shapes. The final group worked on tally charts and graphs.
After lunch we reviewed the different forms of writing that we have done over the last several weeks. Today we did an assessment to see how well they understood the different forms. Today they were asked to write a letter to Mr.Duwyn about shortening the recess time by 5 minutes. In this assessment we are looking at how well the student understands letter form, and how well they can give an opinion with support in a persuasive letter. We then continued to read a couple chapters of Matilda and are happy to see that she is using her power to put Ms. Trunchbull in her place.
After recess, we had a catch -up period. Students could work on their Journals, Spelling, Letter to Mr. Duwyn, Math etc. that needed to be completed.
