Wednesday

*Mid-Terms will be coming home in your child's Wed. Folder. I try my best to keep the grade-book updated, so hopefully you have been checking I.C. and already know what your child's grades will be.  Grade-Book has already been updated since the posting date; so if you check tonight, that is why there are extra grades.

Math:
Today we worked hard on changing mixed numbers to improper fractions.  The kids did great! Every child passed the quiz I gave, and only 3 students did not get a perfect score! I was so happy! We also made a review sheet to practice all the things we've learned so far in fractions.  Lastly we continued working on 4 digit subtraction.
HW:  complete review sheet
*Currently, the math test is scheduled for next Thursday

Reading:
Today we continued our study on genres.  We looked at fantasy-fables.  Students used the laptops to see Aesop's traditional fables and how college students from UMass changed them to make them more modern.  We found characteristics of fables along with compare/contrasted them using a venn diagram.  Next we worked on our plays that the students will be presenting on Thursday. Lastly, students had time to read in their Lit. Books
HW: FINISH lit. book - taking AR test tomorrow, finish fable chart if not in class, study vocab words for test tomorrow

Science:
Students took their test on Weather and States of Matter
No HW

Writing:
We began our poetry unit by looking through different poetry books and finding rhyme and verse.
No HW

Have a good night,
