Happy Wednesday

Great day in Room 6 today. Wednesdays seem to be our most productive day as we have no specialists in the afternoon so therefore, we can add on to the time of some of lessons in Math, Social Studies, and Science. In Math today, we played a fun game practicing our multiplication facts/multiples with a partner. Ask them about it and if they can tell you, write (x) in the planner. It would be great if you could set some time aside each night to practice the facts together. Some students are struggling with addition/subtraction so that makes the multiplication fact mastery that much harder. So practice-practice-practice. Also in math today we did estimations by using rounding. So excited that they still have a great grasp of rounding so that made this concept a lot easier. In Social Studies, students worked with partners on a map Geography Challenge. They learned about population density, annual rainfall, and elevation. Ask them which region of the US has the highest elevation. Write it in the planner. Hint: MT is in this region. In Read-A-Loud today, we worked on Making Connections and they made a text-self connection to Pathki by sharing a time when they tried to please someone by doing something nice for a person and it didn't work out the way they expected it to and they might have even gotten in trouble for it. Have them share theirs with you. Permission slips for our field trip are going home tomorrow. But, some of you asked about the date and it is on Tuesday, October 15 from 8:40-11:40. I have a few volunteers to help so we are good on that. Thank you. Deadline for Fallen Rock t-shirt orders is Friday. Thank you and have a great night.
