Hello! This morning, There is a bit of schedule change, because on Thursday, they will be watching "Johnny Tremain" because the fifth grade does not have Valentine's Day Parties. They skipped Health and went right to Social Studies. They will also be having science this p.m., so we will come back for it.
They read page 258- to 261 (Lesson 3) and then did page 69 in the workbook. Kat initialy had a bit of trouble paying attention, but then did a little better. She had trouble answering the questions on page 69, so I change the questions a little.
In Health, there are three classes in the all purpose room listening to the teacher talk about the circulatory system. It is very loud, it's even hard for me to pay attention. Now they are watching a film. They will work on a worksheet when the video is over. There wasn't much time after the video. They read the worksheet to review a few points and class was over.
In reading, there were parents reading as part of the enrichment program. Kat was making silly noises and was very wiggly. She usually loves it when Mrs. H. reads. It was hard to hear the parent because of the heater and she did not have a dynamic voice like Mrs. H
Kat improved her behavior when I took away few dimes and then gave her dimes for sitting quietly w/ no excessive movement or sounds. The 1st story was about a noble and a serf wedding. The next reading selection was about castles. Kat sat quietly and payed attention very well.
When we got into Mrs. R's room Ms. L was teaching about contractions Kat raised her hand and read one of the words, even though she wasn't looking for volunteers. It was a good try. Then, they played contraction memory game. Kat looked while the other kids had their turns and when she went, she didn't keep turning over the same once. When the fourth graders went to lunch, She turn to the assignment board and started her spelling Kat only needed a little bit of help on first page. The second one was about creating compound sentences. She needed bit of prompting for that.
After spelling, we went to the gym. It was supposed to be empty, but there was class in there, so we couldn't play basketball. I had told Kat earlier that we would play. Kat rode the stationary bike instead, but she kept requesting basketball.
When we came back from lunch, Kat did her language packet, She did okay on some pages and not so well on others.
The worksheets were about various types of verbs. As her reward, we went to the gym and played basketball for five minutes. Kat was very happy.
Then, we went back to Mrs. R's and Kat did her reading seat work we went to Mrs. D's and they were watching a Social Studies video. There is a list of events on the board to be put on the timeline on page 67 in the workbook I copied it well Kat wrote in her journal because it was hard to see. They had cupcakes Because it was Katie's birthday. As I was leaving, they were getting ready to go. They maybe going outside to see aphysics experiment. D. is interested in coming over on Friday or Monday since they don't have school. Just a reminder that clinic is tomorrow. See you then!
