I hope everyone had a great weekend!
Language Arts:
Today we reviewed past language arts skills. We took our spelling pretest. We started a new skill in grammar. Our focus is going to be verbs. Today we looked at action verbs. We talked about our vocabulary and reading comprehension skills. Our vocabulary words are swagger, governor, navigation, spunk, patriots, spark, tyrant, and instruct. Our comprehension focus is on drawing conclusions. What can we figure out from the text that is not told to us. Our story this week is set in Boston during the American Revolution. We took our unit 2 reading test. We visited the IMC.
Math
Today was all about data. We discussed surveys, populations, samples, and the census. We practiced making frequency tables, bar graphs and circle graphs. We made stem and leaf plots and figured out the minimum, maximum, range, median and mode. Our homework is study link 6.6.
Science
Today we tested someone else's fleet of boats. We found out that our results were close to the same. We learned that the larger the capacity of the boat the more passengers it will carry. Tomorrow we will start working with airplanes. Students had to do a response sheet today. If they didn't get it done it was homework.
