Language Arts~
We began learning about pronouns today. We made sure that we used the correct pronoun for the context of the sentence. We also sorted our spelling words by how you add the ending. We previewed our vocabulary and comprehension skills and listened to the story.
We will be having our read-in tomorrow instead of Thursday. Students can bring in blankets, pillows, and such to settle down for a some quiet reading time.
HW: None Keep Reading!
Math~
Today we developed a rule for finding the area of triangles. We found out that you must multiply the base times the height and then divide by 2. Triangles are basically 1/2 of parallelograms.
HW: Mathboxes and Study link 8.7
Science~
Today we learned about the different states of matter: solids, liquids, and gasses. We discussed how water is the same matter but can be found in all 3 states.
HW: None

We Love a Challenge!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Language Arts~
We had specials today. Then we wrote to a writing prompt and listened to science project presentations.
HW: No weekly homework this week. However, today is the kick-off to the I love to read challenge! Every child is expected to read at least 20 minutes tonight. If students read an average of 20 minutes a night they will not have weekly homework during the month of February. The calendars are due to me on Thursday this week. Don't worry about totalling up the weekly minutes we will do that here at school.

Today we started to look at area, perimeter, and volume. Our focus today was perimeter. Unit 8 test will be on Thursday, February 14th.
HW: Math Boxes and Study Link 8.1
