Lessons & Assignments Thursday, April 21st

Language Arts - read passage - We completed our DOL and grammar page in class.  We also took a few minutes to practice our spelling words using the Spelling City app.  The students listened to our weekly story on the ipads, and answered their comprehension questions about the story.  Tonight's assignment is to read the passage, but this can be returned on Monday since we have a field trip tomorrow.

Math - None - We learned about shapes with the same area and different perimeters today.  We used the Doodle Buddy app on the iPads to sketch out and measure shapes.

Science - None - We read about light today, focusing on reflection and refraction.  We practiced writing words, then tracing the reflection we saw in the mirror.  We were surprised that the letters looked backwards!  We also put a pencil in a glass of water, and realized that refraction made it look like it was broken.

Social Studies - None - We used our social studies time for our Star of the Week presentation.

Reminder:  Field trip tomorrow - meet at the museum at 9:00, and bring a sack lunch.
