Yes, tomorrow is the day we have been waiting for. The otter projects will be arriving. Students will display them on the tables in the hallway as they arrive at school in the morning. I have a meeting so they are to put them outside the classroom on one of the tables. Make sure as the directions said to have their name easily visible. We will begin sharing them tomorrow and finish sharing on Friday.
Today, we started discussing cells, bones, and tissue. If your child can tell you the name of the "control center" in the cell, write cell for free money. Also, today we watched a cool Bill Nye, the Science Guy You Tube about bones & muscles. If they can tell you how many bones a baby has vs. adult, write bones in the planner for free money.
Their nightly writing also goes along with this video. They are to write 2 paragraphs. One about bones and the other about muscles. They can use facts from the video and from what they know. These are to have a topic sentence, at least 3 details each, and a conclusion each. That is for sure a total 10 good sentences altogether in 2 different paragraphs. Don't forget to indent.
Tonight's math homework consists of 4 math problems-4 digits x 1 digit. We did some in class together today as a whole and then with partners. We then used our calculators to check them. If they had mistakes, they had to go back and find and fix them.
My reading kids are doing such an awesome job with their book clubs. They are writing great inferential questions, making connections, and writing great I-V-F summaries. You should see all the sticky notes they are using to mark their thinking. I love it and all the learning and discussion that is going on. Ask you child what book they are reading and have them tell you about it, and write the title in the planner.
Tomorrow is HE/PE.
Have a great night.
