Language Arts~
After specials we sorted spelling words by how we make the long vowel sounds. We reviewed simple subjects and predicates, complete subjects and predicates and compound subjects and predicates. We also discussed how to combine sentences. We read and discussed the story together and practiced vocabulary and comprehension skills. Next, we began writing a personal narrative about our heroes. In vocab vine we learned about the root word tect. It means build or cover.
HW: Continue working on weekly work and read, read, read!
Math~
Today we worked with compasses. We drew circles, copied lines and measured. We also learned about adjacent and vertical angles. When 2 lines intersect, the angles that share a side and vertex are called adjacent. If you add the adjacent angles together they always equal 180 degrees. They form a straight angle.
Angles opposite of each other are called vertical angles. They don't share a side. They always equal each other.
HW: Math boxes and Study Link 3.5
Science (G)~
Today we learned more about our solar system. Our solar system is made up of planets and everything else that revolves around our star, the sun. We discussed the inner planets. I also gave each student a study guide to help them prepare for the chapter 2 test. The test is still over a week away, but we are going to fill in the guide together in order to help us study the correct things.
