Busy busy Thursday

Oh my goodness what a busy day! I loved hearing your writing this morning and I cannot wait for tomorrow's selection. We added another syllable type and cutting pattern to our chart in Boot Camp. We reread our fluency selection and watched a Gooru video that related to "Climb or Die." We read our close reading selection with attention to types of early humans and the time they lived. We did a writing piece on which tool was the most important and why.
In math, the lesson was full of mini-lessons! We learned about adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals, using brackets, and solving expressions. Whew!
In writer's workshop we started a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting two types of early humans.
Finally, we had a few minutes to start the "Distant Past" section in our social science text.

Tomorrow there is an AVID assembly and a week two assessment in language arts.

Homework:

• read for 30 minutes
• spelling due tomorrow
• fluency 1 minute
• math reteach 1-5
• writing -- write about the sound, the color, and the smell of school
