3/8/11

Language Arts:
Today was a very productive one. We were able to review our spelling words and their definitions, work on our grammar skill for the week which is working with articles, discuss and complete a worksheet on making judgments, switched for Vocabulary Vine, and listened to a short chapter in our read a loud.

Homework:
***We will have a short RIT test on Thursday. We do go over these words everyday in class as a daily review. The students have these definitions in their red binders. Studying for this test should be easy since the words are reviewed daily.
***Making judgment worksheet is due tomorrow if it was not handed in today
***Practice writing your spelling words in cursive
***Weekly homework packet is due on Friday

Math:
Today in math we graded our worksheet on area that we completed last night as homework, worked on computation, and continued practicing finding the area of triangles and parallelograms. We ended the class by working on a Standard Assessment that covered different computation skills.

Homework:
***Math box 9.6

***None

Reminders:
***Everyone is asked to wear their National Blue Ribbon shirts tomorrow. We will be having our celebration in the gym in the afternoon.

Until tomorrow...
