10/10/10

Friday was a busy day!

Language Arts:
Today in Language Arts, we took all of our usual assessments, listened to our read a loud, switched for Vocabualry Vine, played a game to review for our RIT vocabulary test on Monday, and spent some time typing our Diamante poems.

Reminders:
***Reading projects are due on Oct. 18. If they are finished early, they may be brought into school.
***Study for the RIT test

Math:
After computation practice, we jumped right into our next unit. This unit deals with fractions, decimals, and percents. We have already started to work on this during our computation time, so I feel that this unit is going to be fairly "easy".

Homework:
***Get Unit 8 tests signed

Social Studies:(Suddarth)
Today we worked with our table groups to come up with song lyrics to describe one of the groups that came to the United States, how they settled, and what they contributed to the United States as we know it today. The tunes were set to the tune of "This Land is My Land". They were VERY good! I even heard a few tunes being "taught" in the coatroom at the end of the day. What a great way to learn! We also played a game of "Slap it" to review for our Chapter 3 test which will be on Tuesday for my homeroom class.

Until tomorrow...
