The Countdown Is On For Science Expo Projects...

Only 4 more days! All Science Expo projects are due on Friday! I'm looking forward to seeing everything you have learned while completing the scientific process!

LA: We're back to our old schedule. We started a new story today, Dear Mrs. LaRue: Letters From Obedience School. This is a great fantasy story about a dog who is sent away to obedience school and plots his escape! We're working on prefixes, drawing conclusions and words ending in -ed and -ing. This week's fluency and flow should go rather quickly: answer the questions in complete sentences, get parent initials on words to know and spelling words section and create a caption for each funny picture on the back! Easy as 1, 2, 3! :) We also started typing up poetry in computer lab today, preparing for our published books that are right around the corner! In addition to all of those fun things, we also completed our January school wide writing prompt about heroes in our lives.

HW: Cursive spelling words are due first thing tomorrow morning as well as the hero writing. Fluency and flow is due Friday. Normal assessments will be given on Friday.

Math: Are we improper or just plain mixed up? We learned about changing improper fractions to mixed numbers today and vice versa! We also reviewed lots of fraction skills and continued our practice as writing them as decimals.

HW: Finish page 211, math boxes 7.6, 7.7, 7.8 and study link 7.8

Health: Today was the last day to work on food guide pyramids. They look great out in our ELA! We also worked on making signs for our healthy food fair tomorrow!

HW: Bring all needed items for the Healthy Food Fair with you in the morning!

Don't' Forget:
Tonight is the USA Skating Party from 3:30-5:30! Be careful!
