It's Been A While...

It's been a while! I apologize for the distance between my blogs...I just don't know where time goes!

LA: Today started a new unit, with our story, Spirit of Endurance. This week, our vocabulary words are: frigid, treacherous, triumph, uninhabited, expedition, labor, dismantled and abandon. We are also reviewing adjectives and linking verbs. We're going to be working on problem and solution with this week's story. We took the Unit 3 test today as well. Today was our first time in the computer lab to start our state research as well. Although many of found great pictures of things in our states, we had to keep reminding ourselves that black and white pictures may make for a boring float.

HW: Weekly homework is due on Friday. Completed published books are due on Wednesday of this week.

Math: We spent some time reviewing previous 5th grade skills today by completing some end of the grading period assessments. (In a perfect world, we would have gotten to this last week, but there's just not enough time in our day!)

HW: None

Social Studies: It's been very exciting to see our groups coming together to work on their bill boards in anticipation of their presentations on Wednesday. I can't wait to see who convinces more settlers to come to their colony...

HW: Presentations will be given on Wednesday. Be prepared to do your part!
