Tuesday...

It has been a quiet day.

Language Arts~
Today we sorted spelling words by the silent letter.  We also turned present tense sentences into future tense sentences by identifying the verb and adding the helping verb will.  We read and discussed "My Brother, Martin."  Our focus was on the author's purpose.  We tried to use clues to help us draw conclusions about the events in the story.  We also started to work on our poetry books.  We wrote a portrait poem today.

HW:  Continue working on weekly homework.  Finish any work that wasn't done today.

Math~
We reviewed and practiced unit 6 concepts today.  We focused on division, measuring angles, plotting points on a grid.  We reviewed parenthesis and rounding numbers.

HW:  None

Science~
Today we played Life Science Jeopardy. We reviewed major life science concepts by playing a jeopardy like game.

HW: None!
