*We had Fun Friday today. Any work not turned in by 3:15 will remain a permanent zero in the gradebook.*
Spelling/Vocabulary: Vocabulary test was today. Grades will be posted as soon as possible. Next week, we'll be back to a regular spelling list.
Reading: We are almost done with The Lightning Thief! We will be finishing it up next week and then work on some life-size characters from the book! We also learned about advertising techniques and then incorporated those techniques into an advertisement for Crusty's Waterbed Palace. Look for these in the classroom during SEPs.
Writing: We continued doing some quickwrites and journal prompts. We also learned about idioms. Ask your student what idiom they chose to draw. Next week we'll work on our persuasive essays.
Math: The students continued to graph functions and went on to learning about angles and how to measure them. We worked with a protractor; to my surprise many students had never used one before. We did a "Math Dance" to learn new transformation vocabulary. Ask your student to show you the wonderful dance and point out the vocabulary words.
Science: The students should be researching different parts on the Solar System with a partner. Their information is due on Tuesday with a visual aid. They will be teaching the class about their topic.
Social Studies: We continued to watch Ben Hur this week.
