This morning we finished the story about Koko and his kitten All Ball. Then one of the students brought a link to a video about Koko so we watched that too. Next we moved on to our spelling words so the students will be ready for the test tomorrow. Finally, the students worked on an assignment about homographs, words that are spelled the same but have different meanings. We discussed that the "graph" part means "written" so they can distinguish between homographs and homophones, which are words that are sound the same but are spelled differently.
In math we prepared for the test. If you have any questions as to what will be on the test, please refer to yesterday's blog. Students are struggling as they confuse area (multiply lxw) and perimeter (add the length of all four sides) with each other. There will be a fraction problem, adding two fractions with different denominators. I will keep reviewing those so the problems become second nature to all of the students.
In Social Studies we finished the video about Idaho agriculture. Then, since the Russet Burbank potato was created by Luther Burbank, we watched a short video about him.
