Today began with a return to Latin roots.  This week's roots are "mal/male" meaning bad, abnormal or worse.  Quizlet here to help students study- http://quizlet.com/337824/vocab-list-14-mal-male-flash-cards/

In math we began using algebraic expressions to continue our journey into algebra.  Today was an intro to using variables.

In writing we began planning and drafting our letters to our Philadelphia pals, and in reading groups continued using sequence of events in small groups and others worked on 3 reading LDCs.
