DARE DAY

We had a great time celebrating our graduates of the DARE program today!

LA~
We took our vocab test today.  We also previewed our vocabulary and read chapters 33-35.  We discussed these chapters and students also worked on titles, questions, and the journal entry.  We reviewed the grammar skill of possessive nouns.
HW:  Any unfinished work.  Don't forget that the "flip book" report is due two weeks from tomorrow!

Math~
Today we worked on mystery plots of data.  We tried to match the data to the information based on the numbers. 
HW:  Math boxes and study link 6.4

Science~
Today we compared our recycled paper to regular paper.  We looked at colors, thickness, texture, how easy it was to write on and tear.  We also used the experiment to practice writing an abstract. 
HW:  None, but Science Expo information came home today. 
Dates to remember:  Dec. 16 - Proposal due, Jan. 30 - Project due, Feb. 2 - Science Expo night.
