We started out day with Music with Mr. Lawton. He had given us an assignment last week to do "Rainbow Rhythm" and we worked on it together in class on Monday. I posted a couple good examples of this assignment Tuesday. He was quite please with our students' work, and he picked several examples to use as a basis for improvisation with the Orff instruments.
Back in the room, we went over the Word Study and the Vocabulary from Context homework from last night. Our first story, "Eddie, Inc." is pretty long, so I read it to the students so that they could concentrate on using their strategies. They will be doing some followup tonight with their post-it notes and the textbooks.
The big event today was Picture Day. Teachers hate picture day. It's boring for children to wait endlessly while others are having their picture taken, and trying to keep them from excessive talking is like trying to keep corks underwater. We were lucky to get a slot right in between recess and lunch, so it was not as bad as I remember it from other years. I had a proof of the class picture so I could write the students' names, and I did a quick scan and posted it below.
After recess, we corrected and discussed the math homework. We also did an art project about pattern or "rhythm" in art. I'll post some examples of these later. As usual, many of the pieces were quite exceptional.
Homework: Light tonight. I need again to go home somewhat unexpectedly, so there will not be any homework club. Sorry for any inconvenience. (1) Do the "Using Reading Strategies" paper for this morning's "Eddie, Inc." story. (2) Do "Choose the Operation," Math, page 153. (3) Also do the Review Test, page 154 and the Cumulative Review, page 155 in the same book.
