Back in the Groove

I’m sorry that I’ve been a little flaky getting these things posted regularly. I really have to do some things before I go home or else I get so busy I don’t remember them until it’s too late to do any good….

A nice day! We worked on our “To the Moon” unit in Into English!, particularly reading the retelling the Peruvian folktale. We started work on some flow maps here — we’ll finish these tomorrow. We did the blending and vocabulary for our last story, “The Country Mouse and the City Mouse.” We read through and briefly discussed this. We’ll talk about it more tomorrow in greater detail.

After recess, we continued our softball tournament. Students and starting to get pretty good. We also finished correcting the Open Court unit 5 test, our last for the year! Hurray!

After lunch we did the Open Court fluency assessment, again our last of the year. We also did some work with the Hands-on Equation program. Some students really understood what we were doing, while others were clueless. That’s OK:  it’s really enrichment at this point.

Homework tonight focuses on getting a jump start on fourth grade map. Here we take place value from the 10,000’s place to the 1,000,000’s place.

Homework:  (1) Study spelling. (2) Do the Expanded Form worksheet. Be sure to write the answer in word form on the back, too. (3) Do the Addition and Subtractions worksheet.
