Wednesday....

Language Arts~
We worked on acuity in computer lab this morning.  Our spelling focus was on definitions. The grammar focus was on a present tense verbs.  We worked on subject/verb agreement.  We read about Rosa Parks and then wrote a response that combined information from that story and My Brother, Martin.  We also worked on planning out prompt writing. 

HW:  Any unfinished work, continue working on weekly homework.

Math~
We started journal 2 today.  Our focus for unit 7 is fractions.  Today we reviewed what fractions mean.  Fractions are always part of something.  They could be a part of a whole, a count or a measurement.  We talked about the different parts of the fraction: numerator, denominator.  We also practiced splitting shapes into parts and coloring different fractions.  We also put fractions on number lines,
