10/6/11

Language Arts:
Today we finished up with our skills for the week and reviewed for our assessments. We also took some time to continue working on our weekly writing prompt and practiced RIT vocabulary. (I was very surprised at how well they are learning our new terms!)

Homework:
***Weekly Homework packet is due tomorrow. Please remember all the signatures showing that you read the story with a parent and nightly initials with number of reading minutes.
***Hero writing is due on Monday

Math:Thinking Thursday
Since today was Thinking Thursday we worked on two individual skills. We learned how to create and read a Box-And-Whisker Plot and all the vocabulary that goes with it. We also learned how to create a Frequency Chart as well as what the terms mean. These two skills are ways to show data that are not typical. You should be able to ask your child the following terms and they should know their definitions and how they are used to display data:median, lower extreme, upper extreme, lower quartile, upper quartile, intervals, frequency, relative frequency, and cumulative frequency.

Homework:
***None

Until tomorrow...
