We had a great day!!
Language Arts~
We had a shortened language arts class today due to our field trip. We practiced skills. Spelling words were sorted by the number of syllables. Story vocab was reviewed and clarified. We practiced finding the main ideas and details of a short non-fiction piece. We used a web to organize our ideas. We applied the skill with a short story about hail. Then it was time for the concert!
HW: Keep working on weekly homework.
Math~
Our math class was also shortened due to the concert. Our focus today was splitting circles into fractions. We also reviewed probability: fractions and verbs. We have a math test on Friday so we will be reviewing for that the next two days.
HW: Math Boxes 7.11 due tomorrow. Study Link 7.11 is due on Monday. Students will need a little parent help to complete this. They will be measuring their work triangle in the kitchen. We went over procedures in math class today.
Science~
Today we learned about how real life scientist use the properties of matter to
predict and prevent avalanches. We also reviewed vocabulary and the properties
of matter. Don't forget test next Thursday!
Science Expo~
Don't forget that all Science Expo projects and abstracts are due next Monday. Expo projects will be presented to Language Arts classes for a speaking and listening grade. Abstracts will be turned into the science teacher for a science grade.
