Here is a look at the agenda for this week:
Math: Long division, estimating quotients, geometry, review
Reading: We will finish our reading BINGO that we started last week. Most of the kids only have their biography and biography poster to do. These posters are due on Friday. The kids have been taking AR tests like crazy! We won the first week's round of March Madness against Mrs. Herbel's class! Go Corderman's kids! The score is 146 to 110. Please encourage your child to read at home. The top reader last week was Jack with Hayden in second place, and Sydney in third! Great work kiddos!
Spelling: List 17 on spellingcity.com with list 17.5 being enrichment
English: online story writing....These stories will be a continuing assignment over the next several weeks. We will work on them in computer lab 2 to 3 days a week. The children are practicing making good sentences, as well as working on grammar, spelling, and punctuation. When children start to finish typing their stories, I will have them peer edit as well. They will learn A LOT through this way of editing! Some of the children have taken their codes home and have been typing at home as well. I encourage you to look at their stories and help them to edit as well. Last year many of my parents helped their children to download pictures for their books. The published books turned out fabulous!! In May, we will have a Family Day. This is a very special event! I will let you know ahead of time, so that you can hopefully take off work for an hour to come. The children will be sharing their published books, as well as reciting their poetry. We will also be having an art show displaying your children's favorite art of the year!
Social Studies: Midwest independent study......The children are learning about important events and people of the Midwest like skyscrapers, railroads, Henry Ford, and Sitting Bull through reading nonfiction books, articles, and passages. They will also view videos on Lewis and Clark and the Wright Brothers!
