Thursday

FYI:
Please read the below posts about Read Across America Day!! :)

Math:
Today we took our Fractions test.  We will begin decimals on Monday.
No HW

Reading:
Today we continued with our skill on character's actions.  Students are doing a great job with this.  We shared our character book with a neighbor on the changing characters and then students turned that in.  We also took our vocab. test today. I only had 7 kids out of 30 do the extra credit!!!!!!  We also read our short leveled books and worked on responses with character's actions changing.  Lastly, students were assigned their new Lit. Books based on their MAP Lexile scores.  We made our reading response journals but did not begin reading. 
HW: finish first response in reading journal

Science:
Today I gave student's time to work on their Shark Tank activity.  Many students were given supplies and everyone has an idea!! :) They are due Monday. Can't wait for the presentations!
HW: work on Shark Tank conductor/insulator activity

Writing:
Today we worked on poems again! Our poem of the day was on pets! Not all of us have our own pets, but we do have Stella and Ned, so they gave us something to write about!
No HW

Have a good afternoon,
