2.8.12

We're here...halfway through the week!  Whew!  How 'bout our CATS last night?!?  WOWZA!  Apprently, we LOVE to eat GATOR! 

READING:
We are continuing our focus of identifying the structure used in a nonfiction text.  Today, we looked deeper into the structure of "problem and solution".  To do this, we read the book, Winter's Tail, to emphasize a text structure where a problem is presented and a solution to the problem is described.  In groups, students worked on reading several different texts and completing organizers to match the structure they identified within it.
HOMEWORK: Mrs. Thomas and Mr. Harman's reading: Complete Vocabulary "Bully Solutions" reading and questions using vocab. in response (some words are used in question); AND complete "Save our Town" reading comprehension and short-answer response.
--In Ms. Schrader's reading, complete vocabulary homework and passage.
--In Ms. Frederick's reading class, there is NO homework. 

MATH:
We reviewed adding fractions with unlike denominators review.  Students are really doing well with this and picking up on the concepts at hand...it is FUN to watch! 
HOMEWORK: Complete "Adding Fractions with Unlike Denominators Practice Page B" - (MY CLASS).
--Ms. Frederick's math class needs to complete "Adding Fractions - sheet 1".

SCIENCE:
Ms. Frederick was at a meeting today, so the students had a substitute and thus completed a practice ERQ over electricity and electrical currents.
HOMEWORK: none

WRITING:
We got to go to the library and type on our 4-square pieces...yay!  The students are so excited to be getting the opportunity to type!
HOMEWORK: none.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
xoxo,
Mrs. Thomas
