Wednesday

Today students met their 6th grade prayer buddies. They walked over to Mass with them and sat with them during Mass.
When we came back students practiced using place value blocks to add without regrouping. They also learned how to write number sentences in their math journal. The math journals were turned to the holes in the notebook are on top and the notebook is lengthwise with the blue lines being vertical. This is a trick to keep the numbers between the blue lines so the numbers underneath line up properly. This way when they are adding the ones are in line, as are the tens and hundreds. They were so excited to work in their math journals.
In language students are reading about firefighters. They read about Smoky the Bear today, as we discussed the vocabulary words.
Students went to Atrium. Those that stayed with me worked on ITBS language practice tests, they also explored the ipad apps. In addition, I have begun the Dibels testing.

Don't forget the school supplies and Friday is a buck for crazy socks and Pride shirt day. It is also Pride Day.
