Science:
Eek! The weather is not working well for us! We've been trying to get outside to do shadows for a while! So instead, we made our own shadows with me holding a flashlight and the kids standing in certain spots! :) We also made a diagram to show the time of day and where your shadow would be!
HW: complete the questions that we will use as a study guide for the test on Friday (we'll go over the answers tomorrow)

Reading:
We did not switch for reading due to Mrs. Maldonado's class having the MAP test.  Instead, our class rotated between 4 groups. We worked on math and reading. I was super impressed at how well everyone worked! Students practiced grammar on the MAP review page, students worked on computation skills in a game with me, students worked on divison with remainders in a small group with Miss Rickard, and students had DEAR as a station we well.
No HW

Math:
Miss Rickard taught the students a lesson on word problems involving stem and leaf plots, averages, and probability.  We will be having our Ch. 5 test on THURSDAY. Students will get their review guide and we will complete this tomorrow.
HW: complete the UK booklet with word problems for Miss Rickard

Writing:
Miss Rickard taught our mini-lesson on the correct uses of your and you're! A very needed lesson for our writing! The kids did a great job!! Now let's see if transfer over to their writing! We are ALMOST done with the opinion pieces.  Most students have completed their piece and a few still needed conferencing or re-writing.  Students who were finished had the option to work on the MAP review site for grammar practice or have DEAR time with their new library books.
No HW

Hope you have a great night and stay dry! :)
