Today's math quiz validated two things: our plan was on target and we (home and school) provided the support necessary to be successful...not to mention, the kids did a pretty nice job, too! My primary concern at this point is following directions. Some of the students missed problems simply because they didn't follow the directions - this is on them - so please reiterate the importance of responsibility for their own learning as you review the quiz with them. In addition, when you're looking over your child's quiz, please take notice of the bolded problems because those are the 4th grade items we have been working on, too. With that said, data analysis is right around the corner so be on the lookout for graphs, tally charts, and problem solving opportunities using data. This does not mean we can forget about place value and addition/subtraction...we still need practice with this.
In reading, each group completed or is close to completing their RRJ entry for the week. I will grade these early next week so please be on the lookout for them soon.
This afternoon we picked up our discussion of natural resources. We developed a definition and generated some examples by watching a United Streaming video and working in teams with some of the print resources in the room. We will be moving into capital and human resources early next week.
Individual Pictures on Monday at 9:30 - both classes!
Have a great weekend!
