I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. Only one more week to go!
Language Arts
Today we reviewed how to draw conclusions. This was a skill that everyone struggled with last week. We also reviewed other language arts skills. We learned our new vocabulary words: humanity, inevitable, enlightened, unheeded, and prevailing. We took our spelling pretest and worked on helping verbs in grammar. We also read our Time for Kids story: Beyond our Horizon.
Our comprehension skill for this week is fact and opinion. There will still be tests this week. We are trying to keep the schedule as normal as possible.
We went to IMC today and Mrs. Slater came to talk to us about bullying again. We will continue to work on no bullying strategies.
Math
We continued to practice adding fractions. Some of us have moved on to subtracting fractions. It does look like the unit 6 test will be after winter break. We will spend several days reviewing before the test. Homework tonight is too finish at least page 50 of the fraction packet. The students have had several days to work on this packet in class.
Science
Today we changed different variables on our plane system and tested the results. We changed the variables in increments and ran the test several times. Tomorrow we will finish up our tests and graph our results. Then it is on to flippers. No homework.
