Wednesday's Work

Language Arts~
Don't forget book order is due on Friday!

We went to computer lab today to work on Odyssey!  This is an awesome site to work on at home too.  There is a link on the blog page.  We then went and visited our reading buddies.  When we came back to our classroom we worked on spelling word meanings and where to put commas in a list.  We also reviewed the different parts of an online article and what makes them special.  We worked on our writing about our personal heroes and looked for ways to add voice to our writing.
HW:  Keep working on weekly homework.

Math~
Our focus today was on triangles.  We discussed the different types of triangles and then we practiced constructing congruent triangles using compasses, protractors and straightedges.
HW:  None tonight

Science (W)~
Today we learned about the outer planets.  We also studied about other things in our solar system like asteroids, dwarf planets, and comets.  We finished up our study guide.  We should be reviewing that information nightly.
HW:  Finish worksheet.  Chapter 2 Share and Compare
