Language Arts:

Today was a busy Monday in Room 24. Right after double specials we took our spelling pretest, reviewed our new RIT vocabulary, discussed our seven story vocabulary words, listened to a chapter in our read a loud, and jumped into plural possessives during our grammar lesson. What a busy morning!

Homework:
***Weekly homework and assessments will be given on Thursday this week due to our day off on Friday.

Math:
Today in math we completed a minute and worked on multiplying and dividing decimals as practice on white boards. The students were then placed in their work groups to work on a practice test for our Unit 9 test which will be tomorrow.

Homework:
***Finish the practice test. We will go over the last page tomorrow before the test. You should also work on multiplying and dividing decimals. You will see some of these kinds of problems on the test as well.

Social Studies:(Suddarth)
We took the last of our tour today. We learned about the Washington D.C. area, its buildings and several of the monuments that exist there. We also talked about the importance of laws and rules and the three branches of government that we have in the United States that make and enforce our laws that we have today.

Homework:
***None- This is the last day that we will have Social Studies this week due to two assemblies that will be held in the afternoon. It looks like our Chapter 4 test will be two weeks from tomorrow. A study guide will be coming home soon.

Until tomorrow...
