FREE Online Math Games

In Math Workshop, we used laptops to engage in free online math games.  The links are below.  For future reference, you can also find them in the "Educational Games" tab.  The kids basically practiced getting on laptops and accessing the games.  For the rest of the week, we will have a "technology station" during Math Workshop where students will use these same games.

• Math Man: Rounding
• Money Fruit Splat
• On Time!

In Writers' Workshop, students "lifted a line" from the writers' notebooks to write a whole new story.  Ask your child about this strategy and what they wrote about.

In Readers' Workshop, we used context clues to identify meanings and synonyms of unknown words.  We read Baloney to do this.

In Word Study, we created a Frayer Model for the word "relationship".  To make a Frayer Model, we write the meaning of the word, draw a picture, list synonyms and antonyms, as well as use the word in a sentence.   

In Social Studies, students took a pre-assessment.

Homework:

• Math homework: Students can play an online math game (above) for 10 minutes OR complete the worksheet sent home

• World's Finest Chocolate (PTA): There are still plenty of boxes of World's Finest Chocolates left.  Please sign out a box and help your PTA earn money for your school.  Each box contains 60 items ($60).
