Happy Thursday!

Here is what we did today:

Math: Today we discussed dividing fractions. This concept was demonstrated using manipulatives. The algorithm was then shown and as a reminder of how to multiply by the reciprocal a student was "flipped" upside down. Ask your student about this! Problem set 87 was assigned for Friday.

Science: Today we discussed mixtures and solutions. Worksheet 113 was assigned and is due on Friday.

Reading: In Mrs. D's class we read "Mom's Best Friend" and answered the first five questions at the end of the story.
In Mr. H's class we read Mr. Popper's Penguins pages 80-100.

Social Studies: We read about Triangular Trade from the old text books. We also worked on a map dealing with the explorers.

Spelling: Today we turned in our workbook pages and our test will be on Friday.

Have a great evening!
