Today we watched President Obama's Back to School Speech given yesterday in Philadelphia. It was very motivating and as we watched, we all wrote down some of the snipets of encouragement he was doling out left and right! Tomorrow, we will create a collection of quotes to encourage each other.
Today we had our first fire drill! The kids did a great job staying safe and setting a great example to the younger grades.
Tomorrow is LMC day. DO you have any books that need renewed or turned in? ANy summer books that you still need to return???
Homework is:
Spelling - pretest tomorrow on Unit 4
Reading - test is Friday over Hot and Cold Summer. Our main focus with this story is characterization and vocabulary.
Math - 5th grade math has journal page 23 for homework. We are working on understanding square numbers and exponential notation. We have a test on Unit 1 on Friday. A study guide is coming home today. It is NOT HOMEWORK to be done by tomorrow. It needs to be at school tomorrow so we can work on it in small and large group work. We will do review of Unit 1 in class tomorrow and the only homework tomorrow will be the study guide (to study for the test) signed by a parent. This study guide is counted only toward effort. I will not grade this as it is done with partners and together in the class so it doesn't make sense to count it as a grade. It is a resource for the kids to know what will be on the test. On Friday, the class will be assigned a few math box pages as review and those will be due next week.
That is it!
