Wednesday

After our spelling test I took a few students out to listen to them read. One of the requirements of Common Core is to make sure students are reading at grade level. One way parents can help with this is to team read, that is both parent and child read aloud the same material at the same time, kind of like a choral reading. Students also worked on Language Arts and wrote the four basic types of sentences. In math we are starting to find different ways to represent mixed numbers, for example 2 1/2 can also be written as 5/2. Students are taught that the two is 4/2 and then we add that to 1/2. In social studies students made their posters, and watched a video of Rosa Parks. We discussed the need to be respectful of everyone. Then they went on to music time.
