Math:
Today we reviewed lots for the test.  I pulled small groups and students worked on probability on their own.
PLEASE help your child study from the workbook pages.  MOST all the students need practice with mean, median, and mode.
HW: study for test tomorrow

Reading:
Today we practiced more with persuasion in writing/reading.  Students read a leveled reader and worked on this skill along with restating the question in their answer.  Students also review their vocab words and had lit. book reading time.
HW: finish question 1 from leveled readers (if not finished in class), finish reading a chapter in lit. book (if not finished in class), study vocab words for test tomorrow

Science:
We continued learning about weather and made weather comparisons and similarities with places in the USA and other countries.  We also included technology and looked at moving weather maps. (ours had lots of blue in it for snow! haha)
Here's the website we used to predict and report weather: http://www.edheads.org/activities/weather/
Let your kids play this on their next snow day! :)

DEAR: We enjoyed time to read our AR books and complete Lexia and Successmaker.

Writing:
Students continued working on researching information for their article.  Some students began drafting information. 

Have a good night,
