Lessons & Assignments Thursday, October 28th

Language Arts - vocab packet - We completed our DOL, grammar, and spelling page in class today.  We read our vocabulary story today, and reviewed our vocab words.  The students also worked on their vocabulary packets.  Those that were unable to finish in class need to complete it for homework tonight.

Math - practice skip counting - We practiced our skip counting in class today.  Remember to practice every night at home!  We introduced chapter 4, and completed the vocabulary sheet together.  Chapter 4 will cover all sorts of strategies to solve basic multiplication facts.  This is great, because if you can't memorize all of them, you have additional strategies to figure them out (plus an understanding of what that equation actually means!).  We previewed tomorrow's lesson on multiplying by 2 and 4.  We made set counters in equal groups, made arrays to practice doubles facts, and played a fun card game in groups.

Science - None - We reviewed for tomorrow's open book test today.

Social Studies - None - We read about celebrations in communities, and national celebrations in the U.S.  We completed a worksheet in class today.

Reminder - Wear red tomorrow!
