This morning we continued to work on our Jump Math books. There was nothing assigned for homework.

We handed out the milk and cucumbers today, then we went over the rock cycle. It was very funny when we went around and around, seeing that it a continuous circle!

Well, what a busy day! Was rather strange at that too!

This morning we did a SNAP Assessment practice on Division. I have to record this information to the School District so I thought we would get it over and done with now, rather than later on. We continued to work on fractions after that review. We will do another review tomorrow, then the real test on Wednesday.

We continued to read Fatty Legs in Socials. We learned what Honey buckets were, as well as the dreadful Smallpox outbreak that occurred many years ago.

During Recess, the students were called in as there was a bear siting near the school grounds.

We had a worksheet to complete in partners in French.

Later we did Unit 15 in Spelling. It is on compound words and one contraction.

At lunch the students were kept in because of the bear sighting! Better to be safe than sorry!

After lunch we had PE inside and played California Kickball.

Last block was a fiasco! I wanted the students to take their STAR Reading Test but then the system was overwhelmed and kids were getting frustrated (as was I). I will give them some time tomorrow to make up for the mistake on my part!

Homework:

1. Science Test on Mining on Thursday
2. Math P. 24-26 in Jump Math
3. Math- SNAP Assessment on Wednesday!

Have a great day! See you all tomorrow! Cheers! Ms. Kneller
