Day 11-Test Corrections, Continents Song, Vocabulary Words, and Ten Important Sentences

 Hello everyone,

We went over the rule to do all test and WS corrections with a blue pen together and I helped some of their students who didn't previously finish their Readers and Writers Notebook pages for the past week. If there are any students who didn't finish then I welcome them to come see me so that we can work on it together. I have told students in all three homerooms about this matter. Also, the "Hottest, Coldest, Tallest, and Deepest" is geography heavy so I played the following video for students to see:

It's called the "Continents Song" and it's catchy so students can learn the seven continents. 

As always, students need to write the vocabulary words for homework.

1. Write Week 4 Vocabulary words #1-15 x2 + definition

2. Optional: Chinese Translation

After that, I need to inform parents about the sentences that I intend to use in the next unit test for the matching section in which half of one sentence will be matched to the other half of the sentence. Three or four of these sentences will be used in the matching portion of the test and possibly other portions of the test.

Ten Important Sentences

1. The Nile (River), in Africa, is the longest river in the world. (Page 65)

2. The Chiang Jiang/Yangtze River, in Asia/China, is the world's third longest river. (Page 65)

3. Lake Baikal, in Russia, is the world's oldest and deepest lake. (page 66)

4. Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. (Page 67)

5. The hottest temperature ever recorded in the United States is in Death Valley, California. (Page 68)

6. The coldest place on the planet is (Russia's) Vostok (Station), Antarctica. (Page 69)

7. The world's highest waterfall is Angel Falls, Venezuela. (Page 70)

8. The deepest spot in the ocean is the Marianas Trench, in the Philippines. (Page 73)

9. Mount Rainer is covered in snow the whole year. (Page 75)

10. On the island of Reunion, more than 61 inches of rain fell in a single day. (Page 69)

Day 8-More Reading Activities and Reminder to Bring the Books

 Hello parents, We continued to read through the book's text about how the Canadian James Naismith created the sport of basketball for his PE students in Massachusetts, USA, and how it spread to locals, students nationwide, and was also quickly adopted by women. James' wife was a woman who played the sport that he invented before they even met. While his students were originally reluctant to try a new sport, they quickly changed their minds and stopped grumbling. It's an inspiring story, and it seems that students are enjoying it. As for our homework, I told students that they have two days to finish it. 1. Write Week 3's Vocabulary Words x2 (#1-25) (Finish by Friday) 2. Optional: Chinese Translation 3. Finish the reading in Reading Street (Pages 30-39) Also, please remind students to bring the book to class every day.

 Hello students and parents, Today, we went over the first couple of pages on the text and I asked students to write down the word "expository text" with the definition being "gives information about the real world" for further study since it might be useful later on. After that, we talked about the preliminary parts of their "Scavenger Hunt" worksheet for bookwork/homework. I assigned it for homework today. Also, I added the "Ten Important Sentences" onto the Sensay website so please use it as a way to practice speaking and the sentences that I'll utilize for next week's test. They might also be helpful for the Scavenger Hunt worksheet so check them out.  As for homework: 1. Write Week 4 Vocabulary words 15-25 x2 + definitions (x1) 2. Optional: Chinese translations 3. Scavenger Hunt worksheet (finish by next Friday 9/27) 4. Recommended: Sensay "Hottest, Coldest, Highest, Deepest" Ten Important Sentences practice
