Happy Birthday Baker!
LA: Even though today was our short day, we jam packed it full of our normal Monday stuff! Yikes! We were crazy busy this morning! Our story this week is Forests of the World, which introduces us to nonfiction articles for the year! It is a great informational piece of writing that we learned a lot from. We also took our spelling pre-test, please make sure your child is studying the appropriate list! This week in grammar, we will be learning how to combine simple sentences together to make compound sentences using conjunctions.
Story Vocabulary this week: quest, settings, reduce, buffet & major.
Rit Words for the week: Due to the short week, we have no RIT words!
HW: Weekly homework is due Friday. Please note-there are only 4 questions for the comprehension section this week! We had a long discussion this morning on the quality of our answers in the comprehension section as well. If answers are not written in complete thoughts, no credit will be given! Students know the expectations!
Math: Today was a fun, experimental kind of day! We are learning about landmarks in a set of data. Today we learned about maximum, minimum, range, mean, median, & mode. After we took some notes on these important things, we completed a reaction time experiment with partners. It was fun to calculate our reaction times and which hand has a faster reaction.
HW: Journal page 41, math box and study link 2.5
Social Studies-We took just a few minutes to review chapter 2 that we've been working on for about a week now. Unfortunately, President Obama's speech that had been pre-recorded for us froze half way through, so we weren't able to enjoy it all.
HW: Test over chapter 2 will be given on Thursday.
Things to watch for in blue folders tonight:
- An informational sheet (yellow paper) about this year's fundraising campaign! This is a lot different than year's past, so please read carefully!
