Welcoming Wednesday!

We had a lot of "Welcoming" to do today!  We first welcomed Mrs. Helman into our classroom.  She is currently taking classes at IUSB, in the education department.  She will be with us for the next several Wednesdays, both observing and teaching some lessons!  We were super impressed when she could recite everyone's names after the first hour of Language Arts!

We also welcomed in Mrs. King, Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Stevens today for Art Smart.  We had an awesome time learning about Pablo Picasso and all of the crazy art he created in his lifetime.  Be on the look out for our projects soon!

LA: Another busy morning.  We continued to review plural nouns and their spelling during our grammar minute, as well as talking about the proper placement of commas in a sentence.  We spent some time sorting our spelling words by their sounds and using them to complete sentences. We played a review game for our RIT words (to help practice for Monday's quiz) and found out that many of us need to be studying these very important words more closely!  :/ We also continued to work on writing skills, by writing a Welcome To Northpoint letter to Mrs. Helman.  She certainly enjoyed the advice (that showed up from many friends) to stay away from the "Mac and glue" in the cafeteria!  :)  Last but not least, we spent some time writing our third diary entry.

HW: Finish letter to Mrs. Helman, letter/card to Jaylan, and diary entry #3 for tomorrow.  Book orders are also due tomorrow.  Weekly homework is due Friday, like normal.  RIT word quiz will be given on Monday.

Math: We spent a few minutes on maps and how to use map scales today.  Since we all did well with that skill, we moved right onto to number sentences and distinguishing between those that are true and those that aren't.

HW: Page 69 in journals, math box and study link 3.9 are all due tomorrow.  A look ahead-Unit 3 math test will be given next Wednesday.

Social Studies: No Social Studies today due to Art Smart

HW: Woods' class will be having their chapter 3 test next Tuesday and Grannan's class will be having their test next Wednesday.
