Rounders

Another pleasantly productive day. We worked on both our Writer’s Workshop stories and our Literature Circle books. We corrected homework, and we watched a short documentary about growing up in the Manzanar detention camp. After lunch, we talked about the different parts of a circle – radius, diameter, chords, and circumference.

Later in the afternoon, Akiko Morrison spared the students the usual workout, and instead we played a really cool game called “Rounders". It’s a little like softball, but there are five bases and the ball is hit with a tennis racket. It was fun!

Tomorrow is the CST Practice Test. We’ll take the big test on four days next week. It should not be too bad! Please make sure everyone is one time so we can avoid makeup tests.

Homework: (1) Study for the spelling test. (2) Do the Chapter 8 review on pages 352-353 of the History book. (3) Do “Circles,” pages 534-535 and “Circumference,” pages 536-537, both in the Harcourt Math book.
