Wild Wednesday

Okay - It wasn't so wild.... 

Language Arts~  We reviewed pronouns and used them in contractions.  We used our spelling words in sentences and did a quick proofreading activity with them.  We read our story with a friend.  We also visited reading buddies and typed a poem for our published books.  We also discussed the I Love to Read challenge that is coming up in February!
Keep working on weekly work.

Math~ We reviewed fraction and probability concepts for our test tomorrow. We will also revisit multiplication, division, and coordinate grids on the test.  Students should have the review we completed in class today in their folders.

Science~ Today we continued our exploration of electricity.  A motor was our electrical receiver today.  We also added in using a switch to open (off) and close (on) the circuit.  We discussed schematic drawings as well.  There will be writing assignment on electricity on Friday.
