What a busy day!
Language Arts:
Even though we had double specials today, we still were busy in class. We spent quite a bit of time on grammar . We reviewed the spelling rules from last week that dealt with singular and plural nouns and learned about a few new rules today. We practiced a lot on white boards which seemed to help if the students could visually see it.
In reading, we discussed our story vocabulary . The words this week are temples, overjoyed, preserve, heritage, and dynasties. We did not have time to read the story yet, although it is very short.
We reviewed quite extensively for our RIT test. Because of the review, I postponed the test until tomorrow. I figured an extra day of studying never hurts. We also added five new words this week. (Please refer to their red binders for the new words.)
Homework:
***RIT test tomorrow
***Reading projects are due one week from today!
***Weekly homework packet-due Friday

Math:
Today we worked on computation and took two short standard assessments. We then jumped into our next lesson which dealt with changing "easy' fractions to decimals and percents.
Homework:
***Math Boxes and Study Links 9.1 and 9.2( A lot of time was given in class to complete this assignment.)

Social Studies:(Doms)
***Today we worked in group and developed lyrics to a song about one of the five groups that came to the America's. The song had to be to the tune of "This Land is my Land" and explain why they came and what they contributed to the United States. This was a fun activity!
We also played a review game to prepare for our test which is on Wednesday.
Homework:
***Study your study guide for the test- Wednesday
Reminders:
***My homeroom has their test tomorrow.
Until tomorrow...
