Wed, Oct. 13th

Today in class we practiced using correct punctuation.  We also practiced reading a passage and inserting periods where they belonged.  A lot of kids of a tendency to write and write and write without ever using punctuation.  We read books and passages to try and "hear" the periods (which sounds like a pause).
We also worked on writing questions to find out more about the story.  In addition, we reviewed soft G and Hard G sounds.
In math we practiced more with our fact triangles and talked about mental math.  We have been playing math games everyday that are designed to help improve our mental math skills.  Students should not have to use fingers for counting or adding.

Reminder: Insect project due Friday!
