FRIDAY!!

Today was a busy day for the whole school because it was Grandparent's Day. The students had more time to have their lunch with the grandparents, which threw off the rest of the afternoon. I'd like to thank those grandparents and parents that donated a book to our class from the book fair. The students really like having opportunities to read in class, and I think they will enjoy those books.

In 5th grade, we started watching a movie yesterday. I wanted to get that finished today, but still had to work on math. Because of our time constraints, they did not have the heritage studies test. THE 5TH GRADE HERITAGE STUDIES TEST IS POSTPONED UNTIL MONDAY. I do not like giving tests on Mondays, but there is no reason why the students should not be prepared.

Both grades only learned two math lessons this week. Both lessons went along with each other and did not involve learning many new things. They were given review problems to practice for the test on Tuesday, and I was able to help many students in class today. The test will cover material from the last test, so some of that was included in their practice problems. Some students finished in class, but the rest have to finish for homework over the weekend.

We were not able to start a new science lesson in 5th grade today. They will start on Monday, and just have a short study guide and short test on Thursday. 6th grade wrote out their definitions for the first section that we covered today. All 6th grade students had a chance to finish in class.
