It was an altogether great day.
This morning we started with a quick quiz on inflectional ending spelling patterns, and the students did quite well on it. We went on to silent reading, trying to add as many stickers as possible to the chart before Open House. We continued on in the Open Court book to the story “Kids Did It … In Business.” We did blending and discussed the vocabulary. We read and discussed the simple story.
After recess, students worked on a science wordsearch. In music we worked on hearing and imitating dotted note patterns, understanding and moving our bodies to four-four beats, perfecting a couple body percussion rondos, and working on our “fruit pie” canons. You’ll probably see some of these at Open House.
After lunch, we worked on probability in math. You can see our experiments with spinners in the picture above.
Homework: (1) Study spelling. (2) Cursive practice, using words 23-30. (3) “Musical Palm Tree” questions. (4) Experiments, Math, pages 275-277.

Mr. Bassett:
My mother stumbled across your blog for your classroom. I am a fifth grade teacher at Ft. Irwin (off the I-15 near Barstow). I thought this was an exceptional idea of parent-teacher contact.
What gave you the idea to start a blog? Was this your own idea or was it school imposed?
How long have you been teaching?
I think I might just start one next year for my class!
Thanks for the inspiring example!
