ELA:

Today we did our words to know and spelling words. After we explored some different vowel sounds, "ou and ow, oi and oy, au and aw," and identified words with the same vowel sounds. We read our decodable readers and reminded the class when reading to pause at commas and stop at periods. Finally we summarized the story, "The New Friend" and used the words and actions of characters to figure out how those characters were feeling. 

 

Our homework will be to complete the next four readers notebook pages, 145-148, and to log on to Think Central and practice reading those decodable readers from this week, "Down at the Barn, Scout and Count, and Dawn's Voice."

 

Math:

Today we briefly went over the concepts from chapter 10 in their GoMath Textbooks. We used data from tally charts and bar graphs to answer questions about how much, how many more, and comparing greatest and least.

 

Our homework is to complete the Chapter 10 Final Test on Think Central. This will be counted as a grade, so make sure we are doing our tests by ourselves. No parent help! 

 

While you are on Think Central, it will help the students to explore some of our math resources. The math library has animated math videos featuring a beloved cook character that do a wonderful job explaining the skills we are working on. Just for the record, our current skills practiced are skill 43, 44, and 45. There are also our Math on the Spot videos that answer example questions from their GoMath book. Those are divided by Chapter and a bit easier to navigate. Big shout out to those people who have really taken advantage of the huge library of stuff on Think Central and have a great day y'all!
