Just as we were getting into the swing of things Illinois wrote a different story. We were off today, and we will be off tomorrow as well. Outside of that, the week was great. Even with the shortened week last week, we managed to take our map test, and learn about Martin Luther King Jr. If we are together on Friday, we will discuss the social studies project that involves them researching an important African American person in History. I hope you all are staying warm and enjoying the extra vacation time!
Math: We started a new topic of area which the students seem to like. They find the lessons fun, and easy, which is always a plus. It also makes class discussions a breeze as they are all excited and wanting to show what they known up front. However, the lessons are beginning to get challenging as the unit squares are now disappearing and the students are working strictly with numbers. Another thing they will work on doing is breaking big shapes into small shapes to that they can find the area. Reading: This week reading has a more historical base. The essential question is "How is events in history unique." We started off talking about Christopher Columbus, before moving into discussing the pioneers and their movement west. We are leaving the field of main idea, of the world of story sequencing. We learned that in order to tell the sequence they have to use time-order words. We were able to do some grammar work, which was on combining sentences with verbs and subject-verb agreement. It was almost review for us, so we managed to get through a lot of examples.
