Math: We took and reviewed a formative assessment this morning. Ms. Jones even stopped by to assist us during the review! Hopefully, she worked some magic...just kidding. All in all we did very well with the exception of some subtle challenge mistakes on elapsed time. Tomorrow we speed forward with weight and probably capacity. Unit Assessment is next Thursday!

Language Arts:

We have three culminating projects beginning or on the horizon...

Frindle: They began their draft for their advertisement today and will finish tomorrow before conferencing with me. After some possible revisions, they will begin creating their poster.

Charlotte's Web: Based on their ideas, we decided to create a character "web" that describes 6 of the main characters in the story. I posted the actual task in the previous posting...

Comics: They should complete the top half of the problem and solution organizer using one of the comics. We will conference and complete the alternate solution activity tomorrow in class.

Charlotte's Web Project


Some of this will be completed at home...
Everyone: Templeton, Fern, Wilbur, and Charlotte
Select Two: Mr. Zuckerman, Mrs.Zuckerman, Lamb, Goose, Avery, or Lervy

1. Compose a paragraph describing each of the characters you selected for your poster (all 6).
o Describe their traits.
o How are they related to some/all of the characters in the story?
o Explain their importance to the story.

2. After drafting each paragraph (RRJ), you must conference with Mr. Vogel before typing.

3. Assemble your poster using the materials provided in class.
