Math: Today we started a new unit on Mean, Median, and Mode.  We began with finding averages (mean).  Students did very well on their activity in groups of 4 and I was proud of them for working so well together!
HW: workbook pg. 94, problems 3-4. Problem 2 we did together so students can use as a model
*Math Tests are almost graded. Honestly, they weren't great. However, I gave them a KCCT-like test after I gave the Singapore test and they did a lot better on it...

Reading: Today we worked more on comparing and contrasting texts and characters.  Students read together while practicing fluency on different leveled groups.  Then they compared the main ideas of the texts.  We also worked on vocabulary and finding different endings for our words.  Students also had time to practice vocab words.
HW: finish vocabulary page if not finished in class, practice vocab words for test (must be written in a complete sentence with the word spelled correctly)

Science: Today we learned more about shadows and why we have shadows. Ask your child where their shadow would be at noon!
No HW

Writing: We continued with our persuasive letters and wrote the 2nd paragraph today. Students got into writing groups helped one another as well.  Next, students were placed in groups and were given a certain persuasive technique we've learned about and had to present a skit about the same topic. They were hilarious!!The best part, they all performed them well and the students knew what the technique was.
No HW

Have a great night,
