We had a great day!!
Language Arts~
We started out our day in the computer lab on Odyssey. This was the first time that we had been able to use the computer for a while so it was fun. We came back to class and reviewed future tense verbs and discussed object, subject, and reflexive pronouns in grammar. We sorted our spelling words by ending. We visited with our reading buddies. We partner read The Blind Hunter and had a marathon writing session. We also had vocab vine. Our root for the day was dict and it means speak or say.
Math~
Today we compared and ordered fractions. We talked about how if the numerator of the fractions are the same then the smaller the denominator the smaller the fraction. We also discussed if the denominator of the fractions are the same then the larger the numerator the larger the fraction. HW: math boxes and studly link 7.8
Science (Woods)~
We had two focuses today. 1. How can we measure the force of two magnets? 2. How can we prove that the force of attraction between two magnets decreases as the distance between the magnet increases? We set up a balance and counted the number of washers it took to pull two magnets apart. Eventually we used spacers to add distance between the magnets. We discovered that as the number of spacers increased, the number of washers it took to break the force decreased. No homework.
