April 3rd

Here's what we did today:
Writing-We listened to "True Colors" and students journaled about the meaning of the song.  We discussed how songs are actually like sung poems.  Students then worked on their own poetry.

Reading-Students rotated in groups to play some games to help review some reading and word study skills such as fact/opinion and synonym/antonym.

Social Studies-Students watched a video about Lincoln's life during the Civil War.

Math-Students took the metric test.

We also did some more MAP prep.

Homework:
Math-Correct test.  I ended up counting the last two problems as extra credit so no points were taken off if those were missed.  I awarded 2 points for each one of those that students got correct.  These do not need to be corrected tonight.

Social Studies-Continue to work on the first two pages of the packet.

Read and Write!
