Today I made the students a fruit smoothie, to demonstrate that healthy food can be really delicious! They enjoyed it and asked for more! If you want to make one at home, take one frozen banana, 2 cups of your favorite frozen fruit (we used frozen berry mix), one cup of milk (we used almond milk), and 2 cups of juice (we used apple juice). Put into a blender until fully blended - then enjoy!Because our music teacher was absent today we did an impromptu art project, trying to paint a scene with as many colors as possible. The children's work was fantastic and always inspiring.
Today the fifth graders did a great job on their math tests. Tomorrow the 3rd graders have their first chapter one test. Please continue to monitor your child's homework math assignments to double check they are completed for each day. I found another great website to practice math facts: http://www.mathfactspro.com/#/home
We continued our study on verbs today and sequencing in our writing. Our verb video today was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ineCCpqpZrM
In reading we are talking about a reading strategy about how to make connections with what we are reading. It helps us to understand and remember what we read. Watch this video so that you can use some of the strategies after your child has read a piece of material. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uql0IIIMJDY
Our quote today is from Joseph Addison, “Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.”
