Thursday, September 17, 2015

Greetings,

OK, Mr. K should be on time here today:

Here is the homework for a Thursday:

1.  Math:  H and R pages 7 and 8

*In the planners I had the kids write that I didn't give them any time to start the work, so know that they are beginning from scratch tonight.

*Not too tricky, but...

Same lesson as Tuesday night, using Expanded, Word, and Standard Notation, only with larger numbers.  (in some cases all the way to the millions place)

*Check Tuesday's blog for a reminder of those terms.

Good simple night of work, but read those DIRECTIONS carefully!

2.  Reading:  We really talked about my READ ALOUD today.  I love reading to the kids and I can teach a lot of different concepts to them while I read.

*We are highlighting the author Jerry Spinelli this month, and I'm reading Maniac Magee to them.  Today we talked about AUTHOR'S STYLE.  I had the kids brainstorm things they liked about Spinelli's way of writing.  They came up with great stuff like...the depth of his details, they like the way he makes characters imperfect, also his use of strange words (runt, thanks Emma!)  Talk with them about authors you like at home!

3.  There is a white note going home today about ART WALK.  Sept. 29.  Our first Field Trip.  Sign the bottom and return tomorrow please.

That's about all today.  Looking forward to a great Friday!

Take care.

MR. K
