- Some students were also assigned PS 24.
We had a major issue yesterday with students not following along in math, actually, all day. It was very close to lunch time, and instead of making the kids work out the remaining 3 practice problems on their own, I was going to do it with them. Most of the kids were not paying attention, though, as they were too concerned about lunch. Since they weren't following along, I made them take their books to lunch to finish the 3 prac. problems. I read the directions orally several times, explained them, and told them before they worked the problems to read the directions again and make sure they completed both steps. I still had many students not follow directions, so I'm assigning them additional work to do as a consequence. This must be completed by tomorrow or they will owe me recess.
Here are the students that DO NOT have to do the additional assignment:
Eric, Emani, Nathan, Jackson, Jordyn, Robby, Dominick, Faith, Jordan, Bella, Jessie

Good afternoon!!

We had a lot going on today with such a short week. Even though they have several assignments due tomorrow, a few of them have been done over a couple of days, and most of the assignments they had plenty of time to work on in class. We are still having the reading and spelling test Friday regardless of the short week.
On Friday, I put in my newsletter that students were getting Scholastic Book Order forms, but I got called into a meeting at the end of the day Friday and didn't get a chance to pass them out, so they will be going home this Friday and will be due Sept. 16.

HOMEWORK:
Reading: Vocab ws
Grammar: GPB p.9&10
Spelling: Packet due tomorrow
- 6x each
Math: SP 13
Science: Bring an example of a mixture or solution on Friday and explain why it's a mixture or solution.
