Animal Research

Notice: A yellow Permission Form for an upcoming Field Trip went home today. Please sign and return.

Students wrote Spelling Pre-Test 27 this morning, followed by more long division practise. We did several questions together as a class and some felt comfortable trying questions on their own. We'll be working on long division for the next while until students are able to remember the process and understand what to do on their own. Practise, practise, practise! No homework was assigned.
After recess students started their animal research project. Each student has all the required books and information and today most students finished taking notes on their animal's description, habitat, food, young, and other interesting facts. I helped several students one on one, either recording the info as they found it in their information book or highlighting information from printed pages from kids websites so they could write their own notes.
After lunch was Library for a book exchange and practise finding books using the Dewey Decimal System, Silent Reading, and time for students to catch up on their animal notes. Students who were finished silent read until Gym. During Gym the class played 4 Corner Soccer (4 teams at once, 1 ball). They loved the game and everyone had a great workout.
See you tomorrow,
Mrs. Schneider
