Class Agreements

Homework
Reading - 20 minutes.  Be sure to record the Title and pages read in your planner (this year's version of a reading log). Here is a PDF of the  Homework Planner
Writer's Book Cover -  Assigned on Monday, due by Friday.

 5th Grade Math:  We continued our work on factors and multiples today. Each week's homework will be downloadable in one or two files. Students receive all their homework for the week on Mondays and are encouraged/expected to keep pace with the instruction, not do it all on Monday night.  Here is this week's packet in two parts: Part 1 and Part 2
 

4th Grade Math:  No required homework tonight.  Today we began our review of subtracting with regrouping by a demonstration of how "10" was born, and a reminder of the meaning of place value (1s, 10s, 100s). Students currently secure with regrouping (borrowing) focused on a preassessment for multiplication and division.  Due to our morning all school assembly, class was shorter than usual and did not allow enough practice time to send our assignment home for homework, however some students chose an optional homework assignment for tonight.

Strawberry Creek weekly schedule.

Today in Strawberry Creek:
Strawberry students considered the class agreements we came up in our brainstorm on Monday, and "voted" for their top four in each category.

 Our work on the USA puzzle took us to the East Coast and part of the Midwest today. 

We were introduced to our reading/writing composition books. Throughout the year we'll be using these composition books for various reading and writing activities. Today we completed our first reading response. After reading for 20-30 minutes, the students wrote about what they pictured as they were reading.
