1/21/09

We had another great day today!

In Language Arts, we listened to our read aloud, took our Unit 3 assessment, and continued working on our poetry writing. We also added a few more words to our vocabulary and finished up our acrostic poems. In Computer Lab we worked on skills dealing with using reference materials. This will help us on ISTEP+ as well as on our MAP testing. We even had the chance to visit the library today.(This is a schedule change. We will not have library on Friday as usual.)

Homework:
***Read and record minutes
***Reading projects are due on March 6th
***Work on handwriting if not finished

We will not have Language Arts again until next Monday. We will be in homeroom groups all day on Thursday and Friday.

***********************************************************************************
In Math we completed our minute, reviewed RIT vocabulary, worked on a variety of computation and standards on white boards and played a new math game called Exponent Ball. This game practices using exponential notation. The students had a blast playing it.

Homework:
***None

We will not have Math until next Monday. We will be in homeroom groups all day on Thursday and Friday.

Today in Social Studies we reviewed lessons 3 and 4 by playing a game, took a short quiz and worked on practice book pages 31 and 32.

Homework:
***Practice Book pages 31 and 32 if not already completed in class.
***Our Chapter test is January 27th

Until tomorrow...
