Wondrous Wednesday

I apologize for last night's lack of homework post. Time got away from me! Here's today:

STUDENTS MUST HAVE COMPLETED PLANNERS SIGNED BY A PARENT/GUARDIAN TONIGHT. Remember that, if they have Mrs. Svob for a subject area, their homework may be different from what you see below.

Language arts: We completed DEAR and Six-Minute Solution. We discussed the theme of journeys and elements of story structure. We completed handwriting practice for today. We also played a game to recognize nouns (quick tip: put a, an, or the in front of a word... if it makes sense that way, it is probably a noun)
Language arts homework: Vocabulary book, p. 8-9

Science: We wrapped up our discussion of process skills by estimating and talking about models. We also worked on a crossword puzzle covering customary units of measurement.

Math: We completed Math Minute 4 and checked our homework.
Math homework: Students should practice their addition/subtraction fact triangles. They have looseleaf paper on which they should write two fact families that have a 10 in them (in honor of this being the tenth day of school). A fact family is a set of equations that are inverses. for example, here is a fact family:
3 + 5 = 8
5 + 3 = 8
8 - 3 = 5
8 - 5 = 3
