Monday Feb 20: Spelling the Carpenters and Ships of Discovery

Notices:

I will be away for two weeks starting on

We began the week with our weekly spelling words: bridge gravity hungry eclipse secret applaud laundry trouble attract twilight between describe snowflake freedom slimy glance burglar switch

The students worked on a 2 page double sided spelling sheet to go along with the unit. Those students not finished by recess are expected to take it home to help them with their spelling study for Friday's Test.

After recess the students had music with Mrs. Awalt where they sang and practiced reading music while playing the recorder.
Music was followed with cupcakes brought in by "N" who had here birthday on the weekend this was followed by math with multiplication of two or three digit by one digit practice.

After lunch the students not in choir listened to and did a one page report on The Carpenters the #1 selling American music act of the 1970s.

Choir was followed by the students reading the 20 page booklet on "Ships of Discovery" and coming up with questions for our in class 'Read for the Top' contest. The students have been divided into groups of 4 and will compete using the official buzzer boards in the library. The 4 students in the class, no matter which group they are in, who answer the most questions will be selected to form team "Wilson" and compete against Mr. Edwards class. The competition between our class and Mr. Edwards will be with a new novel. The winner between those two classes will face the winner of the grade five classes of Mr. D's and Mrs. C's with a new novel.
