The rain returned today. Teachers, of course, would prefer that it always rained between 2:30 in the afternoon and 7:30 in the morning, but it has been a month or so since we saw drizzle so it was still a welcome visitor.
We had a fantastic day as usual. We finished up our work on the “Sewed Up His Heart” story in the reader. We checked, corrected, and discussed our homework. We discussed and read about the Bear Flag revolt in California and talked about the state flag. After lunch we corrected the math test, discussed two-digit divisors, and had a read through the play again.
Thursdays are art day, and today we discussed monochromatic color use. Students picked a color combination, and they made an imaginary landscape. We used tempera again. It’s messy, but so fun! I think you’ll agree that some of the samples you see above are quite excellent.
Homework: (1) Do "Sewed Up" study questions. Be sure to reread the story carefully and to answer in complete sentences. (2) Study spelling words. There is a spelling sort on the back of the second page of the OCR study questions. This reviews the VC, CVC, and CVCC patterns as well as the spelling. (3) Do the “Bear Flag” study sheet. (4) Do “Division Procedures,” Math, pp 282-283, even numbers only. Show all work!
