UOI: We finished up the last of our presentations today and started our new UOI unit! MEDIEVAL TIMES! We brainstormed ideas that we already have knowledge about, and created questions which we would like to explore. Students read an article about Medieval Ages and have to write a summary about it for homework.
Math: Math Test Today! Tomorrow we will begin our new unit on Geometry. Please bring in empty toilet paper rolls, cereal boxes, tissue boxes etc. to school. We will need these for the end of our Geometry unit.
Language: Spelling Lesson 19 due Friday. Spelling Test this week!
We are working diligently on our speeches. Students have worked on their introduction and conferenced with me. We are continuing on with our introductions today. Students have been patient and have written them a few times to get them right. This week we will work on our body paragraphs and conclusion. Students will be bringing home their speeches this weekend to work on. Below is a picture of an introductions and some "dos" and "don'ts" to write a good speech!
When assisting your children remind them a speech is like writing a report. We have discussed that we should not use "I" statements, and we should hint at the topic we are discussing and not state it directly. Here are a few helpful links for students to use to get idea about how to start their speeches!
