Tuesday's News

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
