Tonight's homework: 2 math worksheets, spelling packet alphabetical order page, read and log. Several students also have a multiplication drill to finish.
Today we worked on fraction number lines, problem solving and multiplication fact fluency.
In ELA we began a "close read" of this week's reading selection and wrote a draft of the weekly writing assessment. A close read is a very thorough and analytical reading. It is the way children are expected to read under the new standards. It is NOT reading for enjoyment and it is far more than just understanding what is read. We examine every page, analyzing the words, information, author's purpose, and much more.
We also began planning an imaginative story which will include dialog. Some of the characters and settings were pretty "out there", so it will be interesting to see how they urn out!
