Field Trip

We continued our wrap up of the Open Court Storytelling unit today. Students took and corrected the Comprehension, Vocabulary, and Spelling sections of the Unit 4 test. They overall did fairly well, particularly because it is a very challenging unit test. Tomorrow they will take the Checking Skills section. Our storytellers are continuing to do a good job, and I look forward to editing the video next week and burning it to DVD so that we can watch it at Open House.

Today we also did a great job at PE, and managed -- somehow -- to get all that math corrected. Tomorrow is also the test over multi-digit multiplication standards. I suspect it will go well.

Friday we will reward all this hard work with a walking trip to Pan Pacific Park to play softball and other games and have a picnic. It's a "PE field trip." If any parents would like to accompany us, or would like to drive equipment or lunches to the park, please let me or Mrs Caruso know right away. As always my emails are: jbasse1@lausd.k12.ca.us, johndavidbassett@comcast. net, or johndavidbassett@gmail.net. I cannot get my gmail at school, however, so it's best to use one of the other two if it is urgent.

Homework: Nothing specific for the evening. However, make sure you know the quotation mark rules and the difference between an adjective and an adverb for the Checking Skills subtest tomorrow.
