Late, but not forgotten

Today was an early dismissal day, but we still managed to get in our third reading of What Jo Did and discuss rising action and climax. Nothing like a chock full day!

In math the students finished a graphic organizer sorting clue words with the operation that each represents: in all=addition; in equal groups=division; left=subtraction, etc. There will be a math test next Tuesday!

In social studies, we finished a worksheet on timelines that compared how long different prehistoric Indians lived in Ohio. It is not too late to bring in shoeboxes, artifacts, and clay! There will be a social studies test on Monday!

In language we reviewed common and proper nouns. We will not spend a lot of time on nouns as the children have been learning about nouns for years! A worksheet was started in class and should be finished tonight.

In reading we reread the story What Jo Did. Tomorrow will be the weekly test on the selection.

Friday is Vehicle Day and Cola invention day. Be sure to ask your child how his/her cola tasted!
