Another Busy Day!

I hope everyone enjoyed the summer-like weekend, we had lots of fun at the Zoo and Apple Picking!!!

Language Arts:
We started out our time together by taking the RIT word quiz!  We also took our spelling pretest and organized our homework.  In Grammar, we reviewed nouns and talked about uncommon plural spellings. Our story this week is Focus on China.  We introduced our story vocabulary: temples, dynasties, heritage, preserve, and overjoyed.  We discussed our comprehension strategy, fact and opinion.  We discussed strong adjectives and other clue phrases that help us identify opinions.

Our Rit Words for the week are:

Declarative sentence - A statement.  (The fluffy dog barked at the fence.)
Imperative sentence - A command (Please let the dog inside.)
Interrogative sentence - A question (Who does the dog belong to?)
Exclamatory sentence - An exclamation (The dog scared me!!)
Appendix - Found in books, contains extra information like maps, tables, lists etc.










 HW: Weekly homework is due on Friday.  Reading Projects (Cereal Boxes) are due on Monday!)

Math~

Today we discussed open sentences.  An open sentence contains a variable ( a letter in math).  When you solve for the variable you find the solution.  For example 24/A =6 is an open sentence. A=4 is the solution.  The solution always makes the number sentence true. 

HW: Finish pages 74-75, Math box 3.11 and Study Link 3.11 are due tomorrow


Social Studies: (Grannan)
We continued our work on the song lyrics reviewing the five groups of people who made contributions to the early Americas.  We also played a review game of chapter 3 concepts in preparation for Wednesdays test.


HW: Test over chapter 3 will be given on Wednesday.
