Report Cards are in the folders. Please look and sign.

Our Student Teacher began today - Miss Rickard. We are excited to have her!

Science:
Today we worked on moon phases.  The kids did great and some of them even memorized the order after their activity!!
No HW

Reading:
We finally had reading class today!  We continued to work on comparing and contrasting literary texts.  We did an activity with hula hoops and post-it notes after reading a short passage. It was fun and the kids did a great job!  Students also received their NEW vocabulary.  This is a new way for us this year and I think it will REALLY help them with the vocab they will see on future MAP tests and the state test.  We will now be having the vocab/spelling tests every 2 weeks.  Lastly, the students had time to read in their Lit. groups.
HW: complete vocab 1A #'s 5-10 ONLY

Math:
Students did a great job reviewing probability.  We also went ahead and expressed outcomes as a fraction and students did great!
HW: workbook pg. 114, please sign
*Test is next Thursday over Ch. 5

Writing:
We had a mini-lesson over run-on sentences again today.  Students did better today than the first day.  We used our expo markers and wrote LONG sentences on our desks while neighbors broke up the run-ons.  We also worked on our opinion pieces.
No HW

Have a great night,
