Hello parents and students,
I hope you are having a great new week so far, we started off on a great note today. First thing in the morning, we had our knowledgable winner for the month of October. Here is the picture of the winner below.
Next, we started our new unit for math, measurement. Our first topic is, time. So we reviewed the different parts in a clock and how to subtract time and then the students worked through different worksheets.
In language, I introduced the literature circles for our new book, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The lightning thief. The first literature circle is on Monday, November 6 and by then the students have to read chapter 1-4 and complete their assigned literature circle activity. I then read half of the first chapter to get the students started; the students loved the read-aloud.
Next in language, we reviewed the articles that students brought in and created a success criteria for the newspaper article; tomorrow, we will continue with a video about newspaper articles and start making a rough draft for our science fair article.
In UOI, the groups were split into different ancient civilizations. Each week, the civilizations will be researching a topic and on the Friday of each week, they will present their topic to a group. This week the focus is on 'religion and social structure'. Here are the pictures of our ancient civilization museum curators.
In the second half of UOI, the students finished their science fair boards and got started on practicing their boards. This Friday, we will be having a classroom science fair so the students can be judges for each other's projects and give review for the actual science fair. I will be marking the projects at this time.
