Happy Tuesday!

Here is what we did today:

Math: We discussed reading scales including thermometers, and number lines. Problem set 28 was assigned and is due on Wednesday. Tomorrow we will be taking a problem solving pretest that everyone in our grade level is taking. Problem solving is one of our focus areas this year.

Science: We continued to review items from the fourth grade science standards to get ready for the science portion of the ISTEP.

Social Studies: Due to a fire drill we did not have enough time to complete. Students need continue to study for the states and capitals quiz that will be on Friday.

English/Writing: We did a writing prompt on what was your favorite toy. We worked on proper nouns and capitalization and did a worksheet that is due on Wednesday.

Spelling: We took a pretest over lesson 4 and our workbook pages 26-27-28 and 29 are due on Thursday.

Reading: In Mrs. D's class we continued to read tall tales and discuss what exaggerated events are. We also continued to work on the Vietnamese Holiday comprehension worksheet. We are also very excited about our new book that we are reading called The City of Ember ask your child about this great Young Hoosier Book!

In Mr. H's class we did test read's to get ready for ISTEP.

Have a great evening! Picture day tomorrow!
