Tuesday, Tuesday

Many thanks to Mrs. Helman for the amazing new layout of our blog.  I hope you are enjoying it as much as we are!

If you have hopped over from Mrs. Suddarth's blog...she is having some technical issues...but she will be blogging SOON!

LA: We continued on with our novel study this morning, reading chapter 4 together.  All students should have received their copy of the book today, so they can now follow along!   We're taking a lot of time and discussing the figurative language examples and vocabulary words that we come across as we read the chapter aloud.  We also added some important events onto our time lines as well.

HW: Vocabulary quiz on chapter 4 words will be given at the start of class tomorrow.  All comprehension questions are due--written in neat handwriting and complete sentences.


Math: We learned divisibility rules today. 

• All numbers are divisible by 1
• All even numbers are divisible by 2
• A number is divisible by 3 if you add up the sum of the digits in the number and the answer is divisible by 3.   Example: 225   2+2+5 = 9     9 is divisible by 3, therefore 225 is also divisible by 3.
• A number is divisible by 5 if it ends in a 0 or 5.
• A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3
• A number is divisible by 10 if it ends in 0

We also reviewed factors of a number.

HW: Math boxes and study links 1.4 and 1.5 are due tomorrow.  There was also an extra sheet passed out.


Social Studies: (Woods) We continued our work on our geography challenge cards.  After going over the correct answers, we continued reading sections 4 and 5 and working on a new set of challenge questions.

HW: None
