When Tuesday Feels Like
a Monday
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Thanks for correcting me on our PODs this
morning. I tell you, sometimes starting the week of
on a Tuesday feeling like a Monday is a crazy way
to start things. You all were great workers today,
using your time in class very well! Once again I
leave school feeling like the proudest teacher in
school. If you all only know how much I brag about
you! hahaha
Well, this week we will be reading the book
Wump World, where the world of the Wumps is
overtaken by the careless Pollutians. Our spelling
list is made up of words from this story: giant,
meadow, monster, planet, Earth, machine, world,
river, water, zoom, spaceship, grass, munch, hero,
sky. There will be no challenge words this week.
Tomorrowwe will be testing in math on finding the
mean of a group of data. We will also be testing on
math fact families, solving for a divisor, and some
logic story problems. Below are some practice
problems for you to solve.
Comment your
