On a side, the spell check function on my blog is acting up lately so if something "slides/translates" through I apologize...

Math: Hopefully everyone had a chance to look over their student's quiz from last Friday - we did pretty well overall...

Today, we paired up the concepts of slides, flips, and turns with more advanced vocabulary (translations, reflections, and rotations) . There homework reflects this tonight, as well as a notes page that will be in their binders tomorrow.

Langauge Arts:

Anna... - Read chapter 6 aloud and responded to the prompt, "Anna was afraid to climb down the ladder. How was she convinced/encouraged to try?

Sword... - Read chapter 5 and responded to the prompt, "The title of chapter 5 is "The Sword." Explain why this title was chosen by the author."

JGB - We listened to the story for the first time today. Tomorrow we will meet and delve into the Directed Notes examination of Jean LaBadie's Big Black Dog.

William & Mary - We read Shells, by Cynthia Rylant. We began exploring the text through the use of a literature web. Specifically, we highlighted Key Words to help construct our meaning of the story.

Science: We struggled through an ear drum lesson today but seemed to find our way eventually...I could have done without the headache though.

Social Studies: We shared our brochures last Friday. These should have come home over the weekend with a rubric describing how they were graded. Please take some time to go through their research folder because the learning really took place during the process (although the products looked nice!).

Spelling due Friday!
