Loved the mis-matched clothes today! Don't forget to wear RED tomorrow! We'll be having an assembly at the end of the day, and it's always fun to see the sea of RED!
LA: We were extra busy this morning to make sure everything gets done by Thursday instead of Friday! We spent time in Library and Gym first thing. Upon coming back to class, we had our usual spelling pretest, introduced our story, Dear Mr. Winston, and went over our vocabulary words. This week's story's genre is humorous fiction, so we all enjoyed some laughs listening to the story being read to us. We also learned more regarding plural nouns and when to add -s, -es, -ies. Finally we wrapped up our time together by talking about making inferences and finishing up our playground safety posters.
This week's vocabulary words are: weekdays, cardboard, slithered, genuine, apologize, harmless, ambulance
This week's RIT words are:
Consonance-the repetition of a consonant sound not necessarily at the beginning (This is a repeat word, but it's always good to revisit something! :)
Couplet-the simplest form of poetry, a pair of lines of verse, usually rhyming.
Connotation-the feeling or images a word evokes.
Denotation-the dictionary definition of a word-the literal meaning.
Dialogue-a conversation between two or more characters.
Homework: We spent quite a bit of time today going over the 2nd nine week's reading project! Don't forget to share this packet with someone at home. Weekly homework is due Thursday.
Math: Adding and subtracting decimals are what we learned about today. Once we all got the hang of lining up those decimals, we were soaring through!
Homework: Finish pages 87-88 that were started in class. Math box and study link 4.5 are due tomorrow.
Social Studies: We finished up our train tour of the Northeast today with stops in Pennsylvania and Washington D.C.-What a great learning experience this has been for all of us.
Homework: Finish up the group activity page if not completed in class.
