What we did on Thursday!

Language Arts~
Today we reviewed skills.  We practiced the long e spelling and phonic rules.  We worked with decoding compound words and figuring out what they mean.  We reviewed this week's story vocabulary and main ideas and details.  We also looked at all of the things we could learn from a dictionary page.  We edited a paragraph that was full of punctuation mistakes.  We also discussed what a rubric was and how our writing was going to be judged on a rubric.  We reviewed the Greek roots of graph, gram (to write, something written) and Peri (around).

HW:  Weekly homework is due tomorrow.  Parents don't forget to sign.  Also book orders came home today.  They are due by next Wednesday.  You can also order online.  There is a cover letter that explains how that works.  If you have any questions email me.

Math~
We reviewed yesterday's study link and math boxes.  We did board work that focused on multiplication problems and long division.  We also worked with place value of large numbers.  We defined counting numbers, whole numbers, digits and place value.

HW:  Page 33 and math boxes 2.3 in journal and Study Link 2.3  Weekly homework is also due tomorrow.
