Toasty Tuesday

I am almost positive that I saw sunshine today.  I hope everyone is staying toasty warm!

*****Presents for the giving tree are due on Friday!  If you took a star off the giving tree and are planning to donate a gift, the presents need to be at Northpoint on Friday.  If you would like to donate and didn't take a star, there is a need for gift cards to Walmart, Target, or Kohls.******

***** Tomorrow is Variety Day.  Students may pick a Spirit day tomorrow.   Stars in Service is collecting $ donations for Riley Hospital.  Students may wear hats, or p.js. or backwards day or whatever they feel like tomorrow.******

Language Arts~
Today we did a reflective writing on ideas that could make our school better.  We also pretended to be Nick from Frindle in order to learn more about his character.  We read chapters 7&8 and did the worksheets as well as venturing into vocab.  We took a vocabulary vine quiz over last week's root words.
No homework tonight.  Map testing first thing tomorrow!!

Math~
We Map tested today.  Some students are still testing.  I am very proud of how students are doing their personal best.

Science~
Today we looked at how living things interact with their ecosystems.  We learned about producers, consumers, decomposers, food chains and food webs.


It was a busy day.....
