Math
We're just starting to add fractions right now. So far so good, although we are still adding fractions with the same denominators. An additional level of difficulty that we started is adding fractions that have an improper fraction as an answer that needs to be converted into a mixed number.

review of reducing fractions
Language Arts
I've changed over to a new unit - reading expository text. Make sure you're reading expository texts like magazines and book on science for the next reading log.
Check out yesterday's post about the writer's tea party that we're having November 14

Okay another reboot
Math
starting to work with very simple fractions, and learning to reduce fractions
Language Arts
Because of our extended teacher work day/end of trimester/Veteran's Day strange vacation from Friday until Wednesday, I'm starting the week today like I normally would but my Friday will be Friday the 14th meaning...
The spelling and vocabulary test will be Friday Nov 14. I assigned the words today (p. 48 and 51)
Reading logs are due that day also. This time, they must include expository text on at least one entry.
Our culminating writing project (the book kids have been working on) is also due Friday Nov 14.
I want to have a mini-tea party that day where the kids will have snacks and tea while reading and sharing their work. I realize hot tea won't work for a variety of reasons, but it would be great if people would like to volunteer to bring things like food, napkins, cups, iced tea, etc. Email me at mhewitt@gusd.net if you have suggestions or can donate items. I'd like this to be exciting for the students and an edifying experience at the same time, where they realize that writing is not only an essential life long skill, but that it's fun as well.
