This morning we mapped the Rio Grande River and reviewed tributaries of the Colorado and Columbia Rivers.
After vocabulary review, idiom journal writing ("A miss is as good/bad as a mile"), shaving cream spelling, quick sentence diagramming.
We edited our 3-point paragraphs for evidence of the 5 senses and students handed in their biography webs.
HOMEWORK IS TO TYPE OUT THE 3-POINT PARAGRAPH AND ILLUSTRATE IT. DUE TOMORROW. I tried to make sure each student went home with their homework!
MATH HOMEWORK WAS EXERCISE 4 (PERIMETER). Today we learned what composite figures are (square and rectangle attached, or other obvious shapes "stuck" together to form a large shape). Most of the kids are doing very well finding the perimeter when only one side and the area are given. This is a difficult concept.
Today our schedule changed to Winter Term. Students went to Foreign Language, Drama, chose between Dance/Yoga/Karate, and went to Music with our new teacher, Mrs. Allen. She is a music professional who knows Meridian's quality in and out. She is excited to work with the children, who were also very excited coming back from a vigorous vocal workout!
In history, we summarized the American Revolution for our Bulletin Board display and worked on loose ends.
The puppet play is being written!
