What a big day! We actually managed to get everything checked off of our pretty crowded checklist today. The students should be bringing home their rough drafts tonight so that they can get a parent to edit them. They may already look pretty sloppy, but that's okay, because they've been peer-edited twice already. Now it's your turn. I don't expect professional-level graduate work here, just look through, see if anything reads funny or ambiguously, and go over with your child what they can do to fix it. Then I will go through over the weekend and do the teacher-edit. We have two weeks to finish these babies up, and we're going to make it. Parent Edits are due on Friday, so you will have at least a couple days. If there is no parent with enough time, I will accept any adult editing. Even high schoolers.
We also spent some time working through the Rube Goldberg projects for the last time before tomorrow's big show-off time. At that time, they MUST TAKE THEIR MATERIALS HOME! I want all of it out of this classroom BEFORE Colonial Days on Friday!
We had a math test, and I am proud to announce that we are finished with fractions for the year! The only time they should show up is on homework at the bottom of the page. Next we're on to the coordinate plane! Woohoooo! (Actually, they're taking the test as I type these lines...shhhh! Test going on!)
We also ducked and covered for the tornado drill and had some kind of chemical in the air seep into our classroom for a short time (someone was working on the lawn, we discovered) creating a stench. But through all this, we persevered through another day.
I hope your hump-day was an awesome one as well.
