The Unit One Math Assessment is Tomorrow! 8 weeks of content knowledge will be on display in room 9...parent reports will be sent home sometime next week (depends on how quickly the data is entered into the computer).

Math: We reviewed last week's quiz, clarified some challenge data analysis, and worked in partners on a review packet. In addition to the partner review, I worked with some students on creating scales when completing bar graphs.

Homework:

Everyone should teach their parent what they got incorrect on last week's quiz. One of the best ways to strengthen your understanding of a concept is to teach it someone else.

Language Arts: Each group met today but worked on much different things...

Cricket in Times Square

They finished reading the story and answered some comprehension questions using the chapter 15 text. The purpose was to identify and locate explicit (right there) information and record it in complete sentences. We shared our answers in group and discussed how their ability to pull information directly from the text to support their thinking is precisely what good readers do.

We read chapter 8 aloud and began answering some questions in our RRJs.

That's right - the book has been closed on this frustrating read! We did read two different stories in group today. We discussed some comprehension questions in each while taking some informal running records as they read River Raft Fun.

Homework:

None. Spend some extra time on math in preparation for tomorrow's unit assessment.

FYI - a permission slip and schedule for our Walking Field Trip is coming home today. We are looking for 5 parent chaperones to walk with each class so if you can help, please jot a note at the bottom of the form.
