Tuesday update April 26

I was away today but here is the info I gave to the sub: Ms. Smith

Tuesday April 26 Students line up outside and wait to be brought in. Attendance (j and p go to right away on their own) (three girls collect and take up the library books; c, b, a t) Library I normally sign the books in but those students can also do that.

When they leave I do the attendance and tell the rest the computer drill. After attendance, take the rest to the Library. After they have signed out a book they sit and read until most of the students have their book signed out, or when I think they are ready to go to computers.

Computers (power-point) This is the third class on it and students are experimenting with power-point and are getting pretty good at it. Assign them their choice of doing a PowerPoint on one of the explorers... cook, Vancouver, Thompson, and have them create a presentation. (they do not need to go to you-tube to find information although they may try) Wrap up around 9:47 to give them time to get back to class and get their snack and wait for announcements.

Recess: at about 950 pack up the students and take them back to class to get their snack and wait for announcements dismiss

After recess Spelling Pre-Test Unit 29 Three students dictate the words ( F, B, H ) students correct their own work.

M.E. What would be the perfect holiday .... hot beaches? Skiing? Jungle safari? Wilderness Exploring? 5 star resort? looking for lost civilizations.... would you choose to go with family or Alone? Students should list the things that they would do, things would want to see, what would do to have fun, to relax, would they get her hair, finger nails, toes done, what they would eat, what shows or events would they go to... how would they get around. 60 word min...

Lunch: Many students are lunch monitors so let them go fairly quickly when the bell goes or just before.

Science: Theme Light: The eye has everything to do with light. In their science dou-tangs (green) the students are to do two one page reports... the first page they draw and label the human eye. Second Page they write out the information on the parts of the eye. (in this case they can copy it out word for word or put it into their own words).
