Hi there. The states and capital's test went very well for most. Now they know the format and how it goes. The first one is always the hardest. It was pretty obvious though to tell which ones had studied and which had not. Remember, there are games off to the right to help learn the locations of all 50 states.
We will NOT have class this Friday. We will be doing a fun science lab with Mrs. Auch during our SS time. :0)
Today, we added the grizzly bear to our MT History notebook. We will finish that up next week.
We also did some work out of the theme reader today. Kids read this material previously in Mrs. Auch's class in their reading LEAD 21 studies. We did a nice review and then the kids were given a reading guide to complete. I shared with them that the reading guide goes in order as they re-read or skim through the introduction and Ch. 1 material again. The reading guide has both literal questions (found in book) and inferential questions (need their knowledge plus book information). They brought home their theme readers. If not, they can go online and see the text too. Please limit help on this one. Those that have trouble may not have been participating in the discussions and daydreaming. Getting involved in academics is the sure way to understand the text even more!
Assignments are due on MONDAY, November 25, 2013.
Have a great day!
Next Post: Saturday, November 23rd by 4 pm.
