Marvelous Monday

We had a great day. Don't forget tomorrow is workout gear day. Wear your sweat to school to support a healthy, drug-free lifestyle!

Language Arts
We had a very, very busy day! We read chapters 33-38 in Maniac Magee and did the worksheets. We went to IMC to check out books. Then we came back to the room to start writing a persuasive essay about not doing drugs. Today we filled out a graphic organizer and then wrote a rough draft. Homework is whatever didn't get done in class.

Test Alert: It looks like the final test over Maniac Magee witll be on Thursday! There may be a vocabulary test and another section quiz before Thursday.

Math
Today we did lesson 4.5. We worked on division word problems and what to do with those pesky remainders. Sometimes you get to ignore them. Sometimes you round them up to the next whole number and sometimes you report them as a decimal or a fraction. It all depends on what the problem is asking. Homework is studylink 4.5

Test Alert: The Unit 4 test will be on Thursday!

Science
Today we read about scientific inquiry and several different scientists. No homework!
