Wax Museum Wednesday

We had a great day!

Language Arts~
We were pretty excited about our wax museum today!  We started the day off with a little grammar review and a review of the meaning of our spelling words.  We worked on our handwriting book.  All cursive, all the time is right around the corner.  We had our Wax Museum.  I was very proud of the job that our kids did.  They had excellent behavior and excellent reports!  We worked on our vocabulary packets.  Don't forget they are due tomorrow and there will be a quiz on Friday.

Math~
Today we worked on fraction of problems.  For example 3/5 of 35 = ?.  The easiest way to solve this problem is to divide by the denominator and then multiply your answer by the numerator. Using our example, first you would divide 55 by 5 and get 7.  Then, you would multiply the 7 by 3 and get 21.  So 3/5 of 35 = 21.
