Spring Break is SOOOOOOOOO Close...

And boy are we antsy! We're trying very hard to keep it together for the next couple of days before many of us set off for sunny skies!

LA: We had a busy morning introducing a new story today. Exploring Undersea Territory is a non-fiction article full of great information for us to learn. With this story, we are also learning about adjectives that compare using -er and -est at the endings, spelling words with accented syllables, fact and opinion and skimming and scanning text for important information. It's going to be a fun week! We also started a new writing project this morning, the 15 sentence portrait essay. Not only is this a writing assignment, it's also a task on following directions! I can't wait to see our products! Way to go readers! Watch tomorrow's blog for results of our I Love To Read Challenge!

HW: Writing project is due Thursday.

Math: Today we learned to multiply and divide decimals! We spent quite a bit of time working on white boards and practicing, practicing, practicing!

HW: Journal pages 282-286, 288, study link 9.8 & 9.9 (*35 minutes was given in class to complete these pages!) Unit 9 test will be given on Wednesday.

Health:
Students read chapter 6, lesson 4 today in pairs. It was a great review on reasons and ways to say no to drugs!

HW: Lesson check up for lesson 4 is due tomorrow. Students need to complete 1-4 and write their answers in complete sentences. Tomorrow is the last day of 4th grade Health for my home room class!

Please let me know if your family is going to be leaving early for Spring Break! We will still give assessments on Friday and I would appreciate a "heads up" for those students who won't be here.
