Monday

Hope you had a great weekend!
FYI:
*new books logs will be coming home this week in the Wed. folders
Math:
Today we began our new unit on decimals.  Students did a great job.  We worked with manipulatives to help us see how fractions and decimals are alike.  Students also practiced writing decimals in word forms.
HW: decimals worksheet

Reading:
Today we began our new skill on problem/solution, and climax of a story.  However, we began the day with an ORQ on character's actions from last week.  We read the story together and then discussed what it would take to get a 4, and then students did the ORQ on their own.  Next we read Uncle Romie and Me and discussed the climax of the story.
HW: define vocab words, finish ORQ if needed

Science:
Students presented their Shark Tank activities!! I was impressed! Some were super creative!!
*There were a few students who did not have a project. Students had 5 nights to work on this and 2 full science class days where I had a project for them if they couldn't think of one and supplies! I was disappointed.  Students are expected to bring one in tomorrow if they didn't have it ready today.
Writing:
Today we worked on Family Ups and Downs poems.  They were cute!

*We got to meet and hear Miss Kentucky speak on African-American History as well as watch a Step-Show from a UK fraternity! It was so neat!!! :)

Have a good night,
