We are pretty chatty lately which is taking away from our learning time and some students are getting just as frustrated as I am since they are losing out too. In Math, they began completing their slides in Google Apps for our review. Sometimes writing the questions is harder than just solving questions. Tomorrow, I'm going to look over these and see if they need editing but from what I saw, they were doing a great job. In Read Aloud, Ernie and Joey found the "Quilt Baby's" chest. Ernie has yet to make the connection but when they jumped through the puddle, something felt "right" about it. In Reader's Workshop, we read and played games that strengthened our reading skills. We began writing our Harris Burdick stories in Writer's Workshop. I don't know how some students had trouble putting words onto paper with such vivid illustrations and captions! Maybe tomorrow, their block will be gone. For Science, we made a chemical change/reaction that can easily be recreated at home with vinegar, water, baking soda, a 2-liter bottle and dish soap. The measurements aren't terribly important although this is what we used today.
3 Tablespoons vinegar
3 Tablespoons water
Put liquids into a 2-liter bottle.
Add 1 tsp of dish soap to the bottle. Swirl gently--Do Not Shake.
Using a funnel (or paper rolled as a funnel), add 3 tsp of baking soda to the bottle.
**Your child is correct. There is no formal homework logs due this week. I want the kiddos to prepare themselves for the OAA's next week. Therefore, everyone should be doing their own thing. This is NOT a week off of homework and I will probably ask them about what they've done to prepare but I don't want them to stress out about writing everything down or calculating minutes, etc. If you'd like to access the testing portal we have used, search ODE OAA test portal. Your child knows what to do from there.
