Assessing Friday

Sorry I forgot to post yesterday. I had a very busy afternoon, marked with a frustrating number of technical/mechanical problems.

Today we a pretty average Friday. We had our spelling test, and the lady from Barnsdall came around to do a new project with the students. They're working on environments, and she had them do start a three-dimensional California environment. Very good curricular tie-in, though the project won't be finished until next month and the room was an absolute disaster when she left. Oh, well. Take the bitter with the sweet.

We took and corrected our spelling test in the morning -- results quite good -- and our math test in the afternoon -- results more disappointing. These should be on the gradebook this afternoon.

Spencer's mom is working on a Thanksgiving Party list. It should be on the door by Monday at the latest.

Homework: (1) Complete the Tree Map on ecosystems. Find at least four interesting facts about each forests, deserts, and oceans/lakes. Draw a picture for each. Go over the words in dark marker; color the pictures. (2) Do Math, pages 170-171, numbers 2-28. These pages go over the order property of multiplication. (3) Math, page 173, numbers 1-6 only.
