Today, we started our day with Ethan's recap of his football game and mini-dirt bike adventures from this past Friday. Great connections to character Ethan.
In science, we reviewed our last two application experiments and talked about the importance of reading the intentions of an experiment VERY CAREFULLY! So many silly mistakes were made because students did not go back to the description of the experiment. We then began to review for our science test on Wednesday. Parents- please sign the application experiments that are coming home tonight.
Math was all about reviewing place value. We recapped everything from lesson 1 to 8 in ways that made student combine skills and strategies. Today was tough, but it was great practice! Tonight's homework does not have a video or instructional tool with it- it is review! For those who want to check their accuracy or parents who would like to help their child, below is a link to some assistance for the mid-module.
In the afternoon, students received their next set of Greek and Latin Roots- "ject" meaning throw and "sect" meaning cut or separate.
Writing's focus was on finding theme in our own writing. We looked at the chapter of Wonder called Apples. Ask your child what theme is present in their own story. Ask them what their story is about and what their story is REALLY about.
In reading we started a character study of Auggie based on what we know of him so far. Students will support their character trait statements with text evidence, quotes and elaborations to prove why August could be described in the ways they have selected. Book clubs then met to discuss Day 8 and 9.
