Happy Monday!

Here is what we did today:

Math: We worked on lesson 52 dealing with place value through hundred billions. This is something that students struggle with at times. Problem set 52 is due on Tuesday.

Reading: In Mrs. D's class we finished the Mixed Up Files video and we began writing a paper comparing and contrasting the two versions on the story.
In Mr. H's class we read from the Chicken Soup books with a partner.

Spelling: Here are our words for this week: repair, aware, carpet, pardon, guard, remark, scarce, declare, argue, department, vary, prepare, flair, article, farther, regard, area, harvest, despair, flare. The pretest will be on Tuesday. Words were copied three times each for today.

Social Studies: Here are our states and capitals for this week: Rhode Island - Providence, Tennessee - Nashville, Texas - Austin, Utah - Salt Lake City, Vermont - Montpelier. The students were given a reading assignment from their new books discussing early explorers.

Science: We finished our discussion on the respiratory system. The students were given two review pages due on Tuesday.

English/Writing: The students worked on a paragraph correction sheet.

Have a great evening!
