Tuesday

FYI:
Awards Ceremony on Friday at 12:30
Pot-Luck on Friday {please let me know if you are sending something in with your child!}
Spring Break is next week! I have something to share with the kids on Friday afternoon, so if you know your child will not be here on Friday, I would appreciate you letting me know before then!

Math:
Here is a great site to help with learning time: http://www.free-training-tutorial.com/telling-time-games.html#catormouse
Today we continued to work with telling time using words like "half past, quarter till, ten till, etc."  The students are starting to get the hang of it! This must have been something they have forgotten! :)
Students also took their conversions quiz today.  Most students did GREAT! I will try and have the quiz scores posted soon!
HW: some students have 2 sheets of work, some have 1 depending on how well they performed in class on the skill

Reading:
Today we continued with our grammar skills.  We reviewed pronouns and nouns and took a quiz.  Next we reviewed (or learned for some!) about adverbs and adjectives.  Students played a matching game on the smartboard and then we have a brain-teaser for adjectives.
HW: brain-teaser maze for adverbs
*No vocab this week {the words were: noun, pronoun, adverb, adjective}

*We were able to be the audience for 5th Grade's BETA club induction ceremony.  The kids really liked it! I can't wait to see them all in it next year!*

Writing:
Writing was also cut short because of the ceremony.  We worked on typing and publishing our 7 poems for our books!  Does any parent know {or have time to learn?} how to use the machine we have at school to bind books together? If so, I would love your help!! It would be on Thursday and Friday morning! Just email me and let me know!
No HW

Have a good night,
