Monday, May 2nd... Thank you and Homework (good homework!)

First, "THANK YOU!"  Wow!  What lovely flowers I received today. If I can take a picture and upload fast enough...I will place them here.  Mrs. Johnson is like a guardian angel and let me know today that we should be working on our spelling words.   Hmmmm.... not one student mentioned a word about spelling!  How surprizing! :)

Thank you for the beautiful flowers!  

That said, I will work to get together some appropriate spelling words for you to revise tomorrow.  We are going to finish up our poetry books this week and work through the rest of the year on Persuasive essays!

Today we revised 3 areas of math... finding equivalent fractions, finding the equivalent decimal of a fraction and multiplying fractions (doubling, tripling, eg.  We will have a  review test on Wednesday so today we thought about what we knew and didn't know about those topics...asked questions, thought about the 'why' and 'how'...and traffic lighted our understanding.  From there, students choose the homework they felt they could do comfortably... reteach, practice or enrichment.  All worksheets are linked below if needed.  I was really impressed by their ability to think about their understanding and learning!!!  I feel they are right on.
