Drop, Cover and Hold-on!

Language Arts~
We had PE this morning.  We came back to class and read chapter 11 in Sign of the Beaver.  We then worked on our work.  We added 6 words to our story vocabulary.  We added 3 events to our sequence charts.  We added to our literary elements charts and wrote 1/2 page journal entry about chapter 11.  What  didn't get done in class is homework. 

We also participated in the Great American Shake-Out today.  We practiced an earthquake drill.  The things to remember are to drop - get down, cover - get under a table or desk, and hold-on - hold onto a table leg or something.  We then went outside for an evacuation drill.

Math~
Today we came up with a formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism.  v= l x w x h.  We also reviewed geometric terms and worked on math boxes and study link 11.4.

Science (Woods)~
We reviewed for next week's ISTEP today.  We reviewed the water cycle and why we have seasons.
