Project Progress

Today we kept busy on our short day with a couple big projects. First, we went to the Tech Center (taking advantage of the fifth grade going to Astrocamp) and spent a longer than usual time there so that we could put the rough drafts of our fantasy stories on the computer. This will allow us to more freely edit and revise over and over again in a way that I could never make them do if they had to constantly copy everything over. We made good progress here. Second, we worked with the two teachers from the Dunham Dance Company getting ready for the performance that classes will be presenting on February 17th. Some of the steps were pretty complicated, and for the boys even quite athletic, but they did overall a good job.

Light homework tonight. In addition to the two things belong, try to make a little time for multiplication facts drill. Some students are having a hard time here, not because they do not understand division, but because they really do not yet know the facts “cold.”

Homework:  (1) Study Spelling. (2) Do Chapter and Cumulative Reviews, Math pp 229-229.
