Thursday

FYI:
*We are collecting cans!!!!!!!
*Chik-Fil-A PTA night!!!! TONIGHT! (I won't make it this time :( )

Happy Thursday! Be sure to ask if your student got a bracelet today. Students who got to Outstanding on the behavior chart received a bracelet. Each student who has been on Outstanding all week will receive a special bracelet tomorrow.

Please remind students that their vocabulary quiz is tomorrow. Also, if you get a chance, tonight is spirit night at Chick-Fil-A. Hope to see you there!

Reading- To practice vocab, students played headbands today with notecards they prepared yesterday during class. In reading today, we learned about plot, and how to make a story-plot map using their plays. Yesterday, using these same plays, students learned about setting and sets in plays, identifying the setting of their play and designing a set for it.

Writing- Yesterday in writing, students used sensory details to write a poem about the season they had drawn on Tuesday. Today, we learned about Alliteration, as well as assonance, and wrote three verses in their writer's notebooks using alliteration.

Math- We introduced regrouping in division today, as well as took a quick multiplication facts assessment to see what facts students still need to work on. We will be working more on division in the next couple of weeks, as well as retouching on multiplication of two digit numbers for students who need a little more practice.

Challenge group- They practiced multiplication and division, identifying the steps as they solved the problems, as well as any strategies they used to help them.

Social Studies- To help get to know our Presidential candidates a little more, the last couple of days we have been comparing Barack Obama to Mitt Romney, learning about some of their views.
