Thursday!

Gum Day tomorrow!  Help support PTO.  Bring $1.00 and you can chew gum at school!
PTO Carnival is tomorrow night from 5:30-8:00.  It is sure to be a lot of fun!

Language Arts~
Today we reviewed this week's skills.  We reviewed spelling of short vowel sounds.  We also reviewed the skill of finding synonyms to help us figure out unknown words.  We read a non-fiction article about the National Spelling Bee.  We looked at how photographs and captions can help us understand the reading.  Then we wrote a paragraph using synonyms and vocabulary words and reread our story one more time.  We went to vocab vine.
HW:  Finish paragraph and weekly homework.  Both due tomorrow.

Math~
Today our question was:  How can a circle help me figure out the degrees of an angles.  A circle has a 360 degrees.  We used this information to figure out the degrees of angles on pattern blocks.
HW:  Math boxes and study link 3.3

We also went to DARE today.
