Today we continued our study of women's suffrage history by coloring in maps of the countries we researched. It was a great test of geography skills since we have been studying the different continents lately in geography! Tomorrow students will have more time to work on it in class and the mapping packet will be due Friday at the beginning of school so some students may come home with the as homework.
We also received some more stuff from the fabulous website known as donorschoose.org. Our donors funded a project with a TON of social studies books, games, and activities for us to use for the rest of the year. Thank you so much to those donors. Later I will post pictures of us unwrapping the new things so keep an eye out for those!
Tomorrow is Thursday so students will have homework, spelling contract homework for whatever they do not finish in class, and women's suffrage homework for the rest that is unfinished in class. There is PLENTY of time for students to get done with their work in class if they are working well in class. I always make sure to give students time so that their nights are not completely filled with homework. However, it is their responsibility to use that time wisely in class. While I do make sure that students are "on task" or working on the assignment they are assigned, I am trying to help students take on the fourth grade responsibilities of time management which will be invaluable for next year.
Have a great evening and we will see you all tomorrow, well rested, healthy, and excited for the day!
