I hope everyone enjoyed the summer-like weekend!
Language Arts~
We started our day with music and IMC. We took our spelling pretest and organized our homework. We reviewed nouns and talked about uncommon plural spellings. Our story this week is "Focus on China" and Stealing Beauty." We introduced our story vocabulary: temples, dynasties, heritage, preserve, and overjoyed. We discussed our comprehension strategy, fact and opinion. We discussed strong adjectives and other clue phrases that help us identify opinions. We worked on cursive handwriting.
Our Rit Words
Declarative sentence - A statement. (The fluffy dog barked at the fence.)
Imperative sentence - A command (Please let the dog inside.)
Interrogative sentence - A question (Who does the dog belong to?)
Exclamatory sentence - An exclamation (The dog scared me!!)
Appendix - Found in books, contains extra information like maps, tables, lists etc."
Math~
Today we discussed open sentences. An open sentence contains a variable. When you solve for the variable you find the solution. For example 24/A =6 is an open sentence. A=4 is the solution. The solution always makes the number sentence true. We did pages 74-76 in our journals and Study Link 3.11 is homework. Test on Wednesday!
