Today we went to music and library. We came back to class and took our spelling pretest. We also reviewed possessive pronouns and added contractions in grammar. This week's skill is one that the students struggle to master. What is the difference between it's and its, your and you're, their and they're. We previewed this week's vocabulary: coral, reef, partnership, current, eventually, brittle and suburbs. We also used a venn diagram to compare and contrast the different types of coral. We listened to our story.
HW: Our homework all week long is to READ, READ, READ!. The students really stepped up to the plate last week with their reading. We read almost 1800 more minutes this week! Way to go!
Math~
Today we continued to learn about area. Our focus today was to figure out the area of parallelograms. A parallelogram is a shape that has two sets of opposite parallel sides. To find its area you multiply the base times the height.
HW: Finish page 238 and math boxes 2.6. Do study link 8.6. Don't forget the parent signature.
Science (Woods)~
Today was an assessment day. We had to construct a complete circuit and then use that circuit to find some mystery wires.
HW: None!
