I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service.
I acted and behold, service was joy.

Day 110

Am/PM--Centers, Guided Reading, Spelling week #24 Bonus words are Cinquain and Limerick.

Writing: We shared our cinquains and then learned about Diamente's. There is an website on my web links if you forgot how to write one. This a poem that has 7 lines. The format goes as follows:
Line1: Noun or subject word
Line 2: Two Adjectives that describe line one.
Line 3: Three -ing words that describe line 1.

with the word on line 1 and the last two are
connected with word on line 7.
Line 5: Three -ing words that describe line 7.
Line 6: Two adjectives that describe line 7.
Line 7: Noun or antonym for the subject

Math: Today we reviewed Order of operations and practiced a few more times.

Family Meeting/social studies: Today we made a class constitution. This is to help us to understand the importance of the U.S. Constitution and to help us feel as if we have a say in the rules of our class.

I gave the class 20 minutes to finish their self-start books and had them turn them in.

Science: We practiced our heredity rap and then looked at some funny animals that have been morphed to show different specialized structures. We discussed how they would survive. For example, a dog and a bird would be able to smell good and eat meat but could also fly away from predators.

HW:
READ--finish self-chosen book by Wednesday.
Writing: Write 6 Diamante's (the one's wrote in class will count)
Math: Blue worksheet on order of operations.
Read Class constitution with parents and discuss the importance then sign it.
