Thursday 8-31-17

We had another great day...although we are all a little tired. This school business takes some getting used to.

If you made it to the breakfast, it was great to see you. If not, we need some permission slips signed. Here they are: Permission for Shelburne Museum and Mills River Park

We introduced Math and LA today. We established our reading journals and started a math autobiography.  We also listed to A Day With the Robinsons.

Tonight's homework:
LA: Writing Journal - write a story about something that happened to you this summer. This can be real or imagined or even include illustrations
Read for 30 minutes or as long as you can
Math - complete your math autobiography worksheet
Math Autobiography
This assignment should may be written in paragraph format or as individual responses as long as it answers the questions below.   
  1. What are some of your likes and dislikes about math?
  2. How do you feel you learn math the best?  Think about group size and how the information is presented (e.g. visual, hands on, in a game, etc.)
  3. What are some of your best math experiences in the past and why were they successful for you?
  4. What are some of your worst math experiences in the past and why were they unsuccessful for you?
  5. Who were some of your favorite math teachers and why?  What made that person such a good teacher for your learning style?
  6. Any other information that you think would help me in getting to know you and help you succeed as a math student this year?
