Our day started out by correcting our DLP and writing in our February journals. We tried to write words with the -oy and -oi chunks. After sharing we made a list of all the words we heard that included the chunks. We then reviewed the vocabulary for the story and listened to/discussed How I Spent My Summer Vacation. We spent a little time reviewing synonyms and then got to see a short clip of a real matador! We then moved on to writing our final drafts for our pen pal letters. We had some trouble getting the formatting down, but after working really hard finally got it. Some students need to finish their letters for homework. We then completed two centers and finished our morning with social studies. We learned about tax and discussed the purpose of taxes. I passed around a receipt so the students could actually see getting taxed in action! We read some pages in our social studies book before lunch. After lunch our mystery reader came in and read us a story that we all really enjoyed! We didn't want to go back to our desks! We had to move on though because next was math! We reviewed some measurements and completed some workbook pages together. The chapter test is tomorrow! To study please review that 1 foot = 12 inches, 1 yard = 3 feet = 36 inches, and 1 meter = 100 centimeters. The students didn't have too much trouble using rulers, but we will review tomorrow before the test. Next we went to art and finished the day with science. We watched a movie about sound and then began reviewing for the test by working in partners on a worksheet.
The homework for tonight is to read Summer Vacation, math 17-5/study, science page 271/272 and study, and finish the final draft for the pen pal letter (most students already have finished their final draft).
