Tuesday

This morning students finished reading, "Messages by the Mile."  It is about the sounds that whales make.  Then we went to Youtube and listened the whale songs.  Our next lesson was about using adverbs.  The students often misuse them.  For example, a student might write, "He had unhappily on a dress."  We have discussed that adverbs tell about verbs, but it just hasn't gotten through to them.  So today students wrote a short story that was to use adverbs in every sentence.  Some students caught on, others will have to go through their papers and add adverbs.

In math we changed inches to feet and feet to yards and yards to feet and inches.  Students seemed to get it fairly well.  Tomorrow we will finish the unit and take a pre-test.  On Thursday we will correct the pre-test and then take the test for Module 9.

During social studies students are finishing their story boards.  They are getting ready to film their Idaho history sequence.

Please make sure your child is getting their homework handed in.  If they don't get at least five reading days, they must stay in during afternoon recess and read.
