Wednesday's News

Language Arts -
We practiced language arts skills. We worked on the meanings of spelling words and practiced writing contractions. We visited with our reading buddies. We practiced finding facts and opinions in our story. We worked on our I am poems. We practiced drawing conclusions and we also worked on study Island. It was a busy morning.

Math-
We continued working with subtracting fractions. No homework. Math test will probably be the Thursday after we get back to school.

Science-
We graphed the results of our plane experiments and drew conclusions based on our data. Basically we found that slope and passengers decreased the distance a plane flies and that adding rubber bands increases the distance a plane flies. We also made flip sticks. This will help us build catapults when we get back to school after winter break. No homework.
