Frightfully Cold Friday

I hope that everyone has a great weekend!

Don't forget DARE graduation next week

Language Arts
We took our normal weekly assessments this week. As I've looked them over, I've noticed that we need to slow down and read all directions very carefully! Look for them to come home with your student on Monday. We also worked on a writing project about a snowy day. These projects are going to eventually be hanging in our ELA.

Book orders are coming home today. They are due on Monday. No exceptions. I have to get the order in on Monday in order to get the books home to you by winter break.

Math
Today was game day. We practiced mental math strategies, math facts, place value concepts, and converting fractions to decimals.

Science
We applied what we know about series and paralles circuits to a real life problem: What kind of circuit makes the best string of lights and why? If you have stringed lights around your house have your child try to figure out if they are parallel circuits or series circuits.
