This morning we did our Mountains/Landforms Test and our Language Arts Test. Students finished spelling activities, learned how to organize a 3-point essay, and we read two more chapters in Ben and Me.
MATH HOMEWORK IS EXERCISE 18. Be sure your child is dividing the right number! 3/5 is 3 divided by five, or 3 divided into 5 parts. We spent quite a while dividing the number 1 into many different parts. We also reviewed area and perimeter with rectangles inside rectangles.
Most students have finished the endings of their mysteries. If not, they need to complete those this weekend, so we can work on the clues next week. Students are broadening their writing skills by choosing to author newspaper articles, recipe books, magazine articles, brochures, sports cards, any kind of writing. We also worked more on other stories we have been writing.
5th Grade went to Art. 4th Grade attended Cultural Roundtable. Then the 4th Graders had poetry and science. In poetry we wrote nature topics and switched papers so others could write Haikus about our topic. They were very descriptive. We took apart a standing weight scale, to see how it worked.
IF YOU HAVE ANY SMALL BROKEN APPLIANCES AT HOME, PLEASE SEND THEM IN, SO WE CAN TAKE THEM APART!
After working on our puppets some more, students went to Music. Many students are auditioning for the Willy Wonka play. It takes courage! They are doing so well.
Have a great weekend, and READ!
