February 3rd

Here's what we did today:
Writing-We began revising and focused on making our transitions within and between paragraphs better.

Reading-Students are working on making a "commercial" to advertise their finished literature circle book.

Social Studies-We watched a video about the Oregon Trail.

Math-Today we learned about Factors and Multiples.  We figure out factors by using the Rainbow Method.

Math2-We also  learned about quadrilaterals.  Students need to make sure to use the chart on their hw paper when going over this concept.

Homework:
Math-WS 16.2-odds and mixed review
          WS 18.3--all
          Quiz on Chapter 18 on Monday (Circles will not be on the quiz even though it is in the chapter)

Social Studies-Don't forget that Chapter 5 test and packet is Wednesday.  This is the last one of the third quarter!

If you are interested in purchasing The Oregon Trail game through Scholastic, let me know.  It is available on computer ($12), Wii ($30), and 3DS ($30).  I highly recommend the game!

Have a great weekend!
