What a rainy day!
After a soggy start to our day, we were off and running...
In Language Arts, we continued our new Vocabulary Vine program. I can see it starting to work already as students are brainstorming new words from their word parts. Be sure to ask tonight what new word parts they learned today! We also continued with this weeks skill- simple and compound sentences. The students are getting better in picking them out. We also continued this in our writing for the day. We used string and determined by the length of a string if a sentence was simple or compound. The kids had a blast doing this! The kids were encouraged to use both types of sentences in their own writing to build their sentence fluency.
Homework: We will have our independent Spelling test tomorrow. Be sure to study! Fluency and Flow is also due tomorrow!
Math: After computation, we worked on finding equivalent fractions and changing simple fractions to decimals and percents. The students also worked on a quiz of the lessons discussed so far in Unit 7. Be looking for these to come home on Monday.
Homework: Pages 205 and 207
Social Studies: We worked hard on our project for this rotation. Tomorrow will be spent completing it. If the project is not completed tomorrow, it will be sent home for homework. Our new rotations start on Monday.
Homework: A parent signature is needed on their Social Studies test.
Until tomorrow...
