Well, week one is in the books. We took our Star Reading test today for Accelerated Reader. We now have our goals for the quarter. I'll share those reports with you sometime in the future. We had our first vocabulary workshop class today, found out about culture, and I got to play with water.

Memory: hymn 422 1-4 for Friday
Math: set 4 (see below) for MONDAY
CE: (didn't get the sheet handed out, we will take care of it next week) none

Vocab: 14- 18 for Friday
Music: Haydn for Thursday
English: ws for Tuesday (don't put in the rule numbers, but do everything else)

Things were a bit closer to a regular day today. We talked about the world's population today, nouns and verbs and punctuation and capitalization rules, and Haydn.

One thing to watch out for is that we have several assignments that are not due the next day. This means that students need to be organized and plan out their time well so that they don't forget to do something that is not due the next day. Developing time management skills is a must.

Happy Wednesday to one and all. Thanks to the 1/3 of you that have signed up for Class Dojo so far. I have been using it some already the past two days. The entire class got a point for being on task today, but then lost it when we made it to the hallway. Room for growth! We talked about the earth in space in geography today. In science we looked at how a water molecule is made up and why that is important. We hit lesson 2 in math and talked about various math properties that let us do the things we have been doing for years now. (2+0=2)

Science: fill in A,B,C and A,C from the section for TOMORROW

Literature: Read ch 4 of Holes and do the worksheet for FRIDAY

Welcome to day 1. We covered some routines and got logged on to our Chromebooks and Google Classroom. We also got through a math lesson, discussed some generalities about geography and learned that water is really important.

Math Set one: skip 1,9, 16, 17, 22 for tomorrow
