Getting Ready for the Mission

Another productive day. We spent a good deal of time this morning checking, correcting, and discussing yesterday’s homework. Of course, since a lot of this concerned missions, it was also preparation for tomorrow’s field trip. The timing of this trip couldn’t have been better. My thanks to Mrs. Polacheck for arranging it for the grade level.

We were all excited about a concert performance today by the Colburn School Orchestra, but this was cancelled for some reason at the last moment. We substituted Thursday’s math assignment instead – much to sighs from all.

After lunch we read a chapter of Island of the Blue Dolphins and we practiced the Charlie Brown theme song. We had a particularly wonderful time with reading buddies. The kindergarten kids are starting to bond with their fourth-grade mentors. It was great as you can see.

Homework: (1) Do pages 71-72 in the math workbook. (2) Do pages 127-128 and 130-131 in the math book. This seems like more than it really is. (3) Divide the spelling words into syllables. (4) Do the “Inflectional Endings” worksheet. (5) Do the study questions on the “Elias Sifuentes” story.
