FUNNY STUFF

Wow! You kids told some great jokes today. Today was Joke Day, as part of Red Ribbon Week. Everyone was prepared for today with a joke. Remember how we talked about how telling a joke is about knowing your audience, timing, and delivering the punchline so the audience can respond accordingly. Nice work!!

Remember how we learned about the Mexican Revolution yesterday? You were to write a paragraph in your reading notebook about the word revolution: What it means, what we talked about, what you remember. If you did not do this, please write something on a piece of paper to transfer into your reading notebook right when you get to school.

Remember to work on spelling (3) and the toothpick fluency. Fridays are so busy, I think we may start having our spelling tests on Thursdays. We will begin this next week. Let's do something different. Someone remind me to give out the new list (Unit 10) tomorrow.

Today in 5th grade math, we studied SO MUCH about angles. We played around with our compasses and learned how to use them as a tool to draw congruent line segments. You all did a great job - you impress me with your thoughts!

Remember today when C.B. told us about how to use our writing resources in our writing folders to see how a well written conclusion looks in an essay. That was incredible thinking!!!

Tomorrow is character day (wear a shirt with some character on it). This will be hard for me!! Also, bring back those green conference sheets signed by your parent. Tell your parents that they can email me or call me to schedule another time or to do a phone conference.

See you all in the morning!
