Math: Today our class took their NWEA MAP test. Since only a handful of students finished, we will continue taking the test on Friday at our normal math time.

Homework:
***None

Language Arts: We spent the morning finishing up our reading project presentations, listening to our read a loud, reviewing verb tenses, reviewing the story vocabulary for the week, and finally working on our published book writing. Then we were off to the planetarium to watch the "stars".

Homework:
***Page 3 of our published book needs to be written and edited and include a parent signature.
(This is due tomorrow.)
***Read your story of the week with a parent. Remember to review your vocabulary too.
***Spelling words-Study them and write each word 3 times each in cursive. This is due on Friday.

Social Studies:All seven groups presented their information on their explorer today. We learned about eight different explorers in all. We learned specific information such as ,who sponsored them, their date of exploration, their motive to explore, their route they took, their personal background, and the impact that they had. Together we created a matrix which is an excellent tool to study from. The students have this in their interactive notebook as well. It is a good idea to get started studying it. It looks as if our test will be towards the later part of next week or early the following week.

Reminders:
***Tomorrow our homeroom will have Art Smart
***Are you working on your Science Fair Project?

Until tomorrow...
