Math:
Today we worked more with decimals.  The kids are doing great! Today we took our knowledge of standard form, word form, expanded form, and fraction form to decimals! Students did a great job.  We also answered word problems and played a fun comparing/ordering game! http://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/ordering-game.php?m=Dec-Tricky
You can also find this game under my "Fun Learning Games" site on the side.

Today we continued talking about theme of stories.  We also practiced our vocab words. Students wrote a summary of the Lit. chapters they read in their Reading Responses journals.  We also had time to work on our tall tales. They are turning out great!! Ask your child about it!
HW: read 1 or 2 chapters in Lit. Book, practice for vocab words

Science:
Today we began electricity.  Students learned about series circuits, open and closed circuits.  We were able to try and investigate how to get the bulb to light!

HW: read in the KCCT book pg. 50-53.  Complete the questions on pg. 53 on OWN sheet of paper, restate question in answer.  *Some students need to re-do their Light quiz.  If your child does he/she was given the paper today. They are asked to read a section in the KCCT book over light (you can find it in the table of contents) and then re-do the answers.  Please check.

Writing:
Today we continued with poetry and learned about Personification.  We are working on our own Personification poems! Ask your child to tell you about theirs!
