We were flexible today!
We started our day with specials, music and then IMC.
Science~
Science 2 went to the planetarium today to learn about outer space. We learned about stars, planets, rotation, revolution and lots of other topics. Students took a pretest and a post test over the program. These tests will not count on their report cards. It was for the planetarium use. We didn't even get the tests back.
Math~
Our focus was on probability. We wrote the probability something would happen as a fraction. Favorable outcomes were the numerator and all outcomes were the denominator. For example: If I was trying to figure out the probability that I would draw a heart from a deck of cares the fraction would be 13/52. That event is unlikely.

Look for key words that show the compare and contrast framework. Our story vocabulary is identified, enterprising, persistence, venture. In grammar, we are working with helping verbs. In spelling, we are focused on soft c and soft g sounds.
