Lessons & Assignments Tuesday, January 24th

Math - Division practice - We used part of our math time today to catch up on all of the make-up work from having so many students sick.  We used the rest of the time reviewing long division.  When grading yesterday's assignment, I noticed that 70% of the class missed the long division spiral review question.  We needed to relearn how to do long division today to keep it fresh!

Science - None - We took our chapter 6 test today.

Language Arts - None - We used our graphic organizers on main idea & details that we created yesterday to write a summary today.  We discussed that summaries should be in our own words, should be short, and should contain only the most important details from the passage.  We also practiced vocabulary skills today.  We added different suffixes to our vocabulary words, then had to use each version in a sentence.  We also worked in groups to find words in our story that we could add suffixes to.  Students had to use the dictionary to help, and we discovered that finding words the "old fashioned" way was a bit tricky!  We also did some phonics practice, focusing on 3-letter blends.

Social Studies - None - We did not have social studies today.

Reminder:  SIP early dismissal tomorrow!
