It's Been A Wonderful Wednesday!

Happy Birthday Darius!

LA: Good thing we have long Wednesdays with no specials...we needed it this week after missing Monday! We started out by continuing to review our Greek and Latin roots during Vocabulary Vine adn Triumph time. As a class, we worked on sorting out spelling words with the /u/ sound spelled a variety of ways. This was tricky for some of us! We also learned about Venn diagrams today, using our information from the story about coniferous and deciduous forests. We met with our reading buddies and enjoyed listening to them read to us from their "Just Right Book Bag" along with having a visit from Mrs. Slater to teach us more about bullying and what to do to prevent it from happening. Last but not least, we even squeezed in some time for read aloud.

HW: Don't forget that weekly homework is due Friday. There are not RIT words this week and only four questions on the comprehension section. It's been asked if the summary could be shorter due to the length of the story, but as we discussed in class, there are plenty of facts to keep us writing for 7-10 sentences!

Math: Heads or Tails? We had fun completing an experiment with pennies today, which will help lead us into a further probability discussion tomorrow! We started to touch on the subject today and can't wait to get back to it in more detail tomorrow!

HW: Journal page 45, math box & study link 2.6 and the extra sheet are all due tomorrow.

Social Studies: Today was review day! We spent some time reviewing chapter 2, completing a fun vocabulary word chart and writing summaries that will help us prepare for tomorrow's test.

HW: Chapter 2 test will be given tomorrow.

Things to watch for in blue folders tonight:
  • Welcome Back Picnic papers
  • New Family Brunch (only if you're new to NP!)
