Language Arts: Today in Language Arts, we did our read aloud, reviewed dictionary skills, homophones, and the vocabulary for the story of the week.

Homework: Our Spelling test is tomorrow and Fluency and Flow is due. Please make sure that a parent signature is in both places on the Fluency and Flow. If not, it will be an "oops". This is the only way that I know that the story was read with a parent and that the oral skills were completed with an adult.

Math: In Math today with worked on computation of all skills as well as probability of fractions and spinners. We did this as a whole class on the board so that I could be sure that all students understood the concept. We also worked on Study links as a review in class.

Homework: Tomorrow is our first Math test over Unit 7. I explained to the students exactly what they will be expected to know. In practicing for the test, the students should practice changing a fraction to a decimal, changing a decimal to a fraction, comparing fractions, finding equivalent fractions, and finding the fraction of a whole. There is no written assignment for the night.
