Hello there. Well, fitness club once again about killed me. Man that Mr. Pertuit is one tough cookie! I feel myself getting better each time. Even one more pushup than the last means I am doing better! I LOVE being out there surrounded by kids. We encourage each other and do our best! Way to go Arrowhead!
Tonight kids have dual homework. One is their reading guide for social studies. We read and discussed the chapter together. We even had some substitute teachers read for us! Whom you might ask??? Ask your kiddo. Some of them were selected to act like me. They had to read while walking around the room and project their voice like a teacher. They love listening to their peers and get tired of my voice all the time. The reading guide has both literal questions (found in book) and inferential questions (need their knowledge plus book information). They brought home their theme readers. If not, they can go online and see the text too. Please limit help on this one. Those that have trouble may not have been participating in the discussions and daydreaming. Getting involved in academics is the sure way to understand the text even more!
The other part is DynaMath. I promised Chase that I would do the lacrosse section tonight, and I am a woman of my word! Kids need to read the article and complete the fraction problems. Remember: the numerator is on the top and the denominator is on the bottom. Great article! Love anything to do with American Indians!!!
Tuesday folders came home today. Inside, you will find two things that need to come back. One is last weeks multiplication timed test. The other is yesterday's states and capitals test. The first one is always the hardest. Now, kids feel comfortable with the format and know what to expect for the rest of the regions. Kids should keep their maps to practice on for the future end of the year 50 states and capitals test. Please sign and return both items in the signed folder tomorrow.
Finally, great job on the baby turkey. I sure hope there is no connection to a baby turkey (pout) and the word poultry!!!! Now, for tonights mystery...what is a dad turkey called? $10 tomorrow for the name in the planner! Happy Hunting!!!!
Thanks so much.
Ms. Erickson
