Wednesday, November 4, 2009. There will not be a quiz on Friday but you can count on one for Thursday the 12th! Language Arts: We have been working towards constructing a better understanding of the main idea in an informational text by connecting important details together and determining how they are connected. Essentially - what is the common thread? JGB - We had our second reading and made text-self connections. Life of Ants - Identified important details and used them to determine the main idea.

Tuesday, January 19, 2010. Math: We are officially moving away from fractions and focusing on decimals for the time being. Although, while comparing equivalent decimals today using models, it was exciting to prove/disprove each other using - you guessed it - equivalent fractions! Tonight's homework is to have their quizzes signed and complete their BCD packet, pages 3 4. Posted by Mr. Vogel. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Beyond Damascus, MD. Journey to the Planets.

Mr. V's Class: Data Analysis Lesson
http://vogelsclass.blogspot.com/2010/09/data-analysis-lesson.html
Tuesday, September 28, 2010. Below is the first video lesson of this school year! It's my first foray into this type of media so hopefully you find it a clear and reliable resource to help your child at home with our math concepts. In this specific video I did not include any names or faces of the students for obvious reasons, but I may decide to send home a permission slip in the event I incorporate student explanations, too. Of course, permission is optional. Posted by Mr. Vogel. Beyond Damascus, MD.

Monday, November 9, 2009. Tough day in the Vogel house yesterday.never been a fan of any kind of cowboy! Language Arts: As you'll see at conferences, we are hitting on all cylinders with determining importance of details and examining how details are related. It's this relationship that is essential to determining the main idea. We had a guidance lesson to day so I only met with two of my groups, albeit, rather briefly. Walking tour of Damascus is Friday morning - get in those permission slips!

Monday, October 26, 2009. No homework tonight for obvious reasons. Math: Today was day one of the unit assessment. We will complete it tomorrow and I expect to have parent reports out as soon as I get them. Since the grading and reporting for math is new to me, I'm not sure how quick the turnaround is. Next up is computation (4-5 week unit). In addition, we had 3 presentations of the book report today - many more tomorrow but we had an assembly on Ben Franklin this afternoon. Posted by Mr. Vogel.
