Friday

Happy Friday!

Sorry about the absence of the blog yesterday. We had some technical difficulties, but here is an overview of what we did...
    In science we discussed insulators and conductors with an experiment dealing with metal and plastic spoons and an ice cube. We also talked about how we use insulators and conductors in everyday life. The kids continued their myth projects in reading and will present them Monday! Also, the vocab test has been moved from today to Monday! In math we started a new unit on decimals and the kids caught on very quickly! Make sure page 1 in the 4B workbook is completed by Monday. In writing the students peer edited their myth they have been working on and we did a little review for the social studies test today. That sums up yesterday:)

We started off today with a social studies game to review for the regions test.
Then we went right into our math groups, which are always fun!
Before lunch the kids read an article, and picked out what is fact and what is opinion. They did great with this!
After lunch the students took the regions test and we did an activity reviewing homophones. They depicted a set of homophones. There are some really creative ones!
In writing we will have writing buddies with the second graders. They will be helping them write a piece on President's Day.

Have a wonderful weekend!!
