Thursday Already?!

Don't forget tomorrow is picture day!!

Language Arts~
We went to music this morning.  We came back to class and passed out the rest of our textbooks.  We then went over chapter 5 comprehension questions and took the chapter 5 vocabulary quiz.    We previewed chapter 6 vocabulary and read chapter 6.  Percy is learning more and more about Camp Half-Blood. 
HW:  Finish questions and study for vocabulary quiz.  Don't forget to check and sign those planners.

Math~
Our focus today was on square numbers.  Numbers that have the same have a factor you double are called square numbers.  They make square arrays.  For example 16 is a square number because you can make a 4 by 4 array of that number.  We also worked with the exponent key on our calculators today.  We did journal pages 20-22 in class.
HW:  Finish journal pages and do study link 1.7

Science~
Today we learned about seasonal changes.  We learned that seasons are caused by Earth's tilt.  We have summer when the Northern Hemisphere receives the most direct sunlight.  We have winter when the Northern Hemisphere receives more indirect light.
