Tuesday: I love how this class gets right back into gear after a 3 day weekend. We worked on line plots in the morning, plotting the lengths of the leaves on our beanstalks. In reading, we worked on the word KILOMETER. JEOPARDY and KILOMETER are our words of the week. We also read another great book about a powerful song called Which Side Are You On? At the end of the day, we read an amusing book about apostrophes. The author believes that apostrophes are the most helpful punctuation mark.
Wednesday: We worked on a practice test in math this morning, for Chapter 4. In the afternoon we took an Exact Path math test. So much math! The Thirdlanders were champs! We ended the day with an extra recess.
Thursday: Dr. H. was out this morning. Ms. Long was our guest teacher. We worked on math problems that had to do with fractions. We also researched BEES and took sketch notes. In the afternoon, Dr. H. returned. We worked on our portfolios.
Friday: We worked on putting our portfolios together. Then we worked on our Vocab Venture quiz. We also read more about honey bees and did some honeybee research. We gathered facts and made sketch notes. We looked over our Unit 4 Math Assessment and corrected mistakes. We also took an Exact Path Reading test in the afternoon. We ended the day by learning about the Lotus Festival. It’s been a pretty great week in Thirdland.
