Monday March 23, 2015

This morning began with ticket drawing since we missed that during early dismissal Friday.

In Social Studies we worked through about half of My Brother Sam is Dead Ch. 4.  Things got heated, emotional, and Tim's family is in trouble.  How do you think the chapter will conclude?

In math we reviewed expressions and evaluating them, then took a deeper look at patterns and input-output tables.


After lunch, the new Latin root of the week: vers/vert was introduced.  Quizlet

Next, writing's focus was on choosing a topic of high interest to persuade an audience.  Topics ranged from TV rotting minds, Snowmework, PSSAs, Heros, and Uninventing.  Ask you child what they picked and help them to brainstorm some reasons.

Finally, the day ended with a clicker activity based on a poem about the first men in space.  We will further analyze and dig deeper into this short poem tomorrow.
