We began the week talking about how their Mother's day books were received by their mom's, the laughs, the tears the hugs. The students worked hard on their project and were surprised that one student said their work was more valuable than a $300 purse that was also given as a present.
Then we did our weekly spelling test and handed out a one page, double sided, worksheet instead of the two double sided sheets for the students to work on.
This weeks spelling words:
across, alone, among, brother, again, front, banana, appear, compass, pedal, given, heaven, mountain, ocean, cousin, purchase, often, color (colour), water, Mother's day
After spelling the students wrote a one page response to what they did for Mother's day.
Recess was followed by Music with Mrs. Awalt. They worked on reading music and playing the recorder. The students will be performing at our next assembly on May 30 th. After choir we started a unit on Money. It is through money that we introduce the students to the concept of writing decimals: 7c = $0.07.
The students think it is easy so they tend to think it is simple. It is simple but they need to understand the concepts of tenths and hundredths so they do not make mistakes later on.
After lunch those students not in choir listened to and did a one page report on the musical group the Cranberries.
