Yikes! I haven't blogged since December 13th...my apologies. I'm still trying to figure out how to put many more minutes into my days! Argh!
Interesting Fact of the Day: Velcro was invented by a Swiss guy who was inspired by the way burrs attached to clothing.
LA: We're in the middle of our novel, "My Side of the Mountain." The students are really enjoying this read and we're all learning lots of new information about how to survive in the wilderness. Today, we discussed things like protagonists, antagonists, similes, metaphors, repetition, and alliteration. We are also learning about pronouns and antecedents in Grammar.
HW: Finish comprehension questions for chapters 13-14, study for Wednesdays vocabulary test and bring book orders. Don't forget that page 5 for your published book is due tomorrow...with parent signatures.
Math: Today we learned about Scientific Notation. It was a lot of fun learning about the differences between the different kinds of notations that we use in math.
HW: Finish journal pages if they weren't completed with your partner. Math box and study link 7.3 are due tomorrow.
Social Studies: (Woods) Today, we started chapter 8, which has us learning about slavery in the North American Colonies. The students were filled with disgust and questions about slavery. We had such an interesting discussion, I'm really looking forward to going through this chapter in the coming days.
HW: None
