Lessons & Assignments Tuesday, October 13th

Language Arts - spelling p. 33 - We completed our DOL and grammar page in class today.  This week we are working on identifying the difference between common nouns and proper nouns.  We introduced our new spelling and vocabulary words today too.  This unit's spelling words are all long e words.  The test over these words will be on 10/23.  We went through a slide show of our new vocabulary words.  My groups reviewed our new vocabulary words in our leveled readers today.  Mrs. Pratt's groups worked on word building/phonics skills.

Math - None - We started lesson 3.1 on counting equal groups today.  This was our very first lesson on multiplication, and the kids did great!  In our small groups, students practiced putting counters into equal groups, then skip counted to find the total.

Science - None - We read about different ecosystems today.  We learned about deserts, grasslands, and oceans today.  With each ecosystem, we watched a short Discovery Education video so we could see the plants and animals in each ecosystem.

Social Studies - Chapter 3 review sheet - We continued reading about immigrants today.  Students need to complete the chapter 3 review sheet for homework tonight.

Reminder:  Chip Shoppe fundraiser forms are due tomorrow!
