Math~
We began Unit 3 today.  Our focus was on on Function Machines.  They are the What's My Rule charts that the kids fill out.  We talked about inputs and outputs and rules.  We worked on on pages 53 and 54 in class.  We also did a measurement worksheet where we measured lines to the nearest 1/2 cm.  The students had over 1/2 hour of work time for these 3 pages.

HW:  Math Boxes and Study Link 3.1  I think you will find those math boxes on page 55.

Science~
We are beginning our chapter 3.  Our focus will be on all the different interactions in a community of living things. We watched to Bill Nye videos to introduce these concepts.
