Another Thursday Rolls Around...

...and it was a great one!

LA: Big Mac, please! Be sure to ask your child about our Big Mac writing and all those good juicy ingredients (details) we did today! We also learned the importance of the top bun (topic sentences) and bottom buns (conclusions) are to our burgers as well!

HW: Fluency and flow is tomorrow. Big Mac writing is also due if it wasn't finished in class. Normal assessments will be given tomorrow as well. Be sure to check out the third nine weeks reading project paper!

Math: Happy Birthday to Us...Happy Birthday to us...well, not really, but we still made the cakes! We had a great time making fraction birthday cakes today and then learning to compare fractions using them! They are going to be a great tool to keep around until we become fraction pros! We also spent quite a bit of time on pattern block fractions with partners. It was very exciting to hear the fraction conversations and problem solving going on around the room!

HW: Pages 196-199 are due tomorrow along with study link 7.3

Health: What exactly is the Food Guide Pyramid and just how do we use it? We can now officially answer those questions!

HW: Chapter 4, lesson 3 check up: 1-4 is due tomorrow. A look ahead: Chapter 4 test is one week from today!

What else is going on?
  • Report cards will be sent home with students tomorrow--be sure to watch for them!
  • My homeroom class is visiting the planetarium next Wednesday.
