Wednesday

Wednesday Folders should be coming home tonight! They will have important info. from the office and graded papers from the mailboxes.
*I ran out of time to write a letter to my Math and Reading classes. Look for that next week! :)

Math: Today we worked more on place value. We worked on comparing numbers and ordering numbers up the the ten-thousands place. We even had a chance to play a game on the SmartBoard!
HW: page 7 in workbook 4A
Maldonado Math HW:

Reading: Today we continued with Context Clues. I graded the activity from yesterday. If students received anything lower than a 90% I've sent it back with them to re-do and get signed by a parent.  We also read more in our Lit. books. 
HW: finish reading Chapter 2 in Watson's and complete questions (4 on a small piece of paper - complete those on a lined sheet)
Science: Today we continued with classifying and learning more about adaptations.  We participated in an activity to show why birds have different beaks. It was so fun! Students had several items on their desk they had to pick up using different types of beaks made from toothpicks! Ask your child about it! Too bad I forgot my camera today!!! :(  Then we completed an ORQ together as a class over bird adaptations.  It is hanging in the hallway!
No HW

Writing: We continued with strong verbs to help our writing improve.  We are brainstorming the PTA reflections topic as well as getting ideas for our Memoir.
No HW

*Tomorrow we are having our compliment party! I am going to pick up the ice cream today, and I have someone bringing in bowls and spoons.  Would anyone be able to send in a topping?

Have a great night,
