Whew!
- Today we made invitations to the Veterans' Day Program during Math (don't worry, we also did the math lesson!). We will make more tomorrow in homeroom.
- I introduced the big field trip coming in December to BizTown. I handed out the Intent to Run forms for anyone who wants to run for Mayor of BizTown or to be a DJ. (eye roll...) Tomorrow we will take a look at all of the other jobs the kids can do at BizTown. In coming weeks, your kids will learn to write checks, how an economy works, and all about their personal finances.
- We finally finished reading about the sunfish and its changing part in our oceans' ecosystem.
- We reviewed apostrophes today. We have had some problems getting this lesson down, and admittedly it can be a little difficult. If you think about it, ask your kids how to 1.) show that any singular noun is possessive, 2.) show that any plural noun ending with an s is possessive, and 3.) how to show that a plural noun that doesn't end with an s is shown to be possessive.
- Lastly, we learned more about Cristoforo Colombo, Giovanni Cabotto, Juan Ponce de Leon, and other people whose names have been butchered throughout history. Why did they come to America? What did they do? Who sent them? We will ask these same questions as we continue to explore right along with them throughout chapter 5.
- 20 Minutes of reading.
- Spelling definitions
- Math Study Link 4.2
- Possessives worksheet
