Today began with our Latin/Greek root quiz on "vert/vers."  I really thought there would be better results this week, but 58% proficient or advanced really shocked me...  We reviewed and revisited some of these questions and cleared up misconceptions.  Next week we will have a week off front roots, and will start "tract" coming up April 6th.

In social studies we witnessed an attack on Tim Meeker from the fiesty Betsy Read.  Ask your child what Tim's letter contained and what that meant for Tim during the American Revolution.

In math, we reviewed multiplying decimals after finishing our Chick-Fil-A projects.

Later, we continued drafting body paragraphs in writing.

Finally we wrapped up the day with multiple text questions and began organizing our next Text Dependent Analysis on the bald eagle readings.
