What A Wednesday!
We had a great day today!
LA: Our long morning was very productive! We worked with five more words during Vocabulary Vine today--make sure you know these inside and out for Friday's quiz! We also worked more on our skills review and revising our writing! Our reading buddies are continuing to work hard on the next play, however, the date has been moved back! Please watch for more information coming soon!
HW: All poetry needs to be typed by Friday!
Math: More area today! We spent more time manipulating shapes to explore and figure out the formula for the area of a triangle. This is proving to be quite a challenge for some of us!
HW: Journal page 255, math box 8.7 and study link 8.7 are due tomorrow.
Health: No content today--we had Art Smart! We had a great time learning about Cleas (I might have spelled that wrong!) Oldenburgs pop art as we created our very own sundaes! Watch for the cool display outside the music room on Galaxy Gallery night.
HW: None
