I am very sorry for the late update this week. I can't believe it's already Wednesday night! It has been a busy week at school. Today, we finished our first novel study. The students in both groups really seemed to enjoy the books they read. Several students who were reading Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing have already grabbed other Judy Blume books to read for SSR. I will be assigning projects for the books on Friday. They will be due on Oct. 10. This way students have two weekends to work on them, and it shouldn't interfere with regularly scheduled homework.We have also started laying the ground work for our science fair projects. Thank you to everyone for signing off on the Big Question. I am really impressed by the ideas the students developed. Tomorrow we will work on writing a hypothesis. On Friday, we will begin planning. Please hold off on starting the projects until it is in the planner. I have to stress the importance of a detailed plan and the use of the metric system. I don't want anyone to have to redo their project because they got started too soon.
In math, we have been working on multiplication. A great at-home activity would be for students to practice their math facts. This can be done with flashcards or by using one of the math websites linked to the blog.
