Happy Monday

Today was a good, productive, busy day.
We started out the day with our HE test.  Ask them 3 things they learned in this unit.  If they can tell you, write HE in the planner.
Then we had a treat from the Billings Symphony in the gym.  They brought students with them and performed for 25 min.  They were amazing.  Definitely shows what hard work and practice does.
Lead 21 kids finished Unit 3 today by finishing their story maps.  Some kids have them for homework.  This is a big grade for the end of the quarter in Reading.  Tomorrow we are starting Unit 4 on Space.  Like I said in an earlier note, students will be working on biography projects.
Unit 17 spelling list went home today.
In Math today, we started division with remainders.  We learned the Royal Family to help us with remembering the steps for this process.  Tomorrow I am going to teach them another way and then they will use whichever strategy works for them.  Have them do 62 divided by 9 for you in the planner with all the steps.  If I see the work in the planner they will get free money.
We finished our section on Montana Indians today in Montana History.  This is their last grade for MT History for this quarter.  Then we are going to do some Martin Luther King Jr. activities before we begin Montana History again.
We introduced our Science unit today on Magnetism & Electricity.  Students will be testing some things tomorrow in the classroom in groups to see if a magnet will pick them up or not.  Goals for this unit are to learn about the poles, magnetic fields, & lines of force.
Have a great night.
