Today all went reasonably well. Our homework showed that students are starting to get the hang of the two digit multiplication. We spent some time today reviewing the City Superheroes story focusing in particular on two key comprehension skills: identifying main idea and detail and also distinguishing fact and opinion. We also took some time to continue work on the rough drafts for our HyperStudio project on City Wildlife.
After recess we did some reading about Native Americans in the LA area before the Spanish settlers arrived. We do not have a current social studies textbook, so I am making photocopies of an obsolete but still reasonably good textbook. Please don't report me to the copyright police! I'd buy copies if they still printed it! We also worked a little more with practicing our multiplication procedures.
A couple important notes. Friday is our field trip to the L.A. zoo. Because it is a big problem to cart lunches around the zoo, we're asking students to bring about 5 dollars to buy their own lunch. The options are pretty good. Since it may rain on Friday, please bring umbrellas. If you would like to accompany us, we still need a couple volunteers. Just send me an email to tell me you're interested.
Homework: (1) Study spelling. The test is on THURSDAY this week. (2) Do the "City Superheroes" questions. Be sure to use complete sentences. (3) Practice two digit by one digit multiplication, Math, page 299, numbers 2-26. Copy the problems!
