February 6th

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  Here's what we did today:

Writing-Students whispered their drafts aloud to themselves in order to listen for areas that didn't sound right in terms of choppy sentences, run-on sentences, or too many repeated words.  Tomorrow they will read their draft to a partner to get someone else's input.

Reading-We visited the library and students also presented their book commercials on their literature circle books.  I will post the videos later this week as there are a couple of groups who had students absent and will present later.

Social Studies-We reviewed for the Chapter 5 test and also watched a short video on daily pioneer life.

Math-Today we learned about square numbers and square roots.  We also reviewed for tomorrow's quiz on Chapter 18.

Homework:
Reading-Just a reminder that students should be reading for at least 20 minutes, uninterrupted, each evening.

Writing-Students need at least two writer's notebook entries this week.

Math-Correct division test.  WS 16.5--all, Study Chapter 18--quiz tomorrow  (Chapter 16 test is Wednesday)

Social Studies-Chapter 5 test is Wednesday and packet is due then as well.  This is the last SS test of the third quarter as they will go to Science now.


**I will be sending home mid-quarter grades on Friday of this week.

Have a great night!
