Tuesday February 9th

 Let's see, yesterday I forgot to bring our read aloud book to school and today I forgot my water bottle.  Being back at school is a bit of an adjustment for everyone!

That being said, remember, Wednesdays and Thursdays are gym, so students need their indoor shoes in order to participate.


Period 1 is reader's workshop.  We'll look at reading some 'warm up phrases' to get us ready for reading.  

Period 2 is writer's workshop.  We'll look at exploring unfamiliar topics...and using that to help us with our writing.


Periods 3 and 4 are math.  We'll continue working on strategies to help us multiply numbers.  Today we're going to look at the 8's times tables...and talk about how it's just doubling the doubles. (e.g., 2 x 6 = 12...which is a double, so 4 x 6 = 24 (we doubled 12) then 8 x 6 = 48 (double 24)). Hopefully I can explain it clearer than that!

Then try these worksheets:

Period 5 Mr. Butt has them for technology.

Period 6 we'll be looking at the different parts of a plant in science.
