Thought Filled Thursday

It was another busy day!
Language Arts~
We had music this morning.  We came back to class and took our final Maniac Magee vocab quiz and our final test over the book.  We reviewed plurals and possessives one more time.  We began writing poems using extended metaphors.  In vocab vine we learned about form (shape, form) and lat (lift, carry, bear).
HW:  Tests tomorrow spelling, plurals and possessive nouns, and general reading skills.

Math~
Today was a game day!  We reviewed data landmarks, equivalent decimals, fractions and percents and algebra concepts today.  Here is the link to a game that lets you practice adding and subtracting fractions: http://jamit.com.au/htmlFolder/app1007.html
HW:  None

Science~
We had a very interesting discussion about non-renewable resource and the need to recycle.
HW:  The Before You Move On questions on page 155.
