Today the students began to work in earnest! We started diagramming sentences, and our first official writing assignment of a descriptive essay. This will be a week long project, so look for a completed essay by Friday.
Math rotations began today. Students who stay with me, covered the beginning of Keys to Algebra and completed the scavenger hunt of their math book.
Social studies is becoming more real as the students begin to look at different ways of identifying an area. We looked at geographical location, physical environment (plants, animals, etc.), cultural regions and finally economic regions of the United States.
Please make sure your student is reading nightly!
