Final Units

Definitely a better day than yesterday!

We started out today by going over our homework and having the spelling test. Students are having problems with multi-digit multiplication; spelling was generally good. Both scores should be on the Gradebook now. Big thanks to Mr. Benitez for helping here since I had been asked to go off to a Friends of Third board meeting to discuss our arts education plan. We then started a short unit we’ll be doing on various native groups — beyond those in our area — and their art. This will help prepare the students for our trip to the Southwest Museum a week from Tuesday. We read a couple chapters in the old social studies text. We did some comprehension questions on one chapter and did a Kwakiutl mask project on the other. We also played some good softball today.

Things are winding up. Remember we have two field trips in the last week — the one to the Southwest Museum and the other our walking trip for the picnic in Pan-Pacific park. I already have signed permission forms for these on file.

Homework:  Do the division review study sheet. Be sure to include the check step.
