You will want to ask your child about our trip to the Science Lab today. The children were put into small groups with just a ruler, a roll of tape, string, a clothes pin, and paper towel roll. They had to get the roll of tape from the floor to the top of the desk by creating a simple machine. There were 5 variations of the simple machines created. Each group had to present their invention by explaining the design in sequential order. Then we recorded our work in our Science Journals, complete with an illustration.
Tonight for homework is as follows:
Writing Activity- Correcting Sentence Fragments.....The children are to rewrite the two paragraphs with combining sentences that can be combined to make sentences that "flow" instead and being so chopped up. I told the children to go in sequential order and to keep the meaning. You may also want to remind them that this is supposed to be two paragraphs though you see no indenting on the actual paper.
MATH- Workbook page91.. also study 0's - 4's multiplication tables.... There will be a quiz on Thursday.
Wordly Wise- Lesson 5... page 37, read over the definitions once and then complete pages 41 and 42.
Review the Verb Form Test Guideline... we worked on verb tenses today with the use of helping verbs have and has .... There will be a test on Friday using the exact same verbs. I have asked the children to take 7 words each night and practice those verbs at least 3 times.
Don't forget to turn in Reading Logs.
Dinner challenge: Ask your child if they know what a league is. League is one of their wordly wise words this week. However, there is an "old fashioned" definition that we talked about today. See if they remember.
I look forward to seeing several of you tomorrow during our Math class. We are working on multiplication word problems with multiplication and division fact families. You may want to "beef" up on your facts as you may be asked to join in with the centers if time allows.
