Thursday, January 29th

Whew!  What a busy day!

Students began analyzing and note taking from a passage about the telephone today.  They will be using this passage in the coming days to assist them in writing a new opinion piece.

We began exploring sound today.  Students listened to sounds and drew a picture of what they think that the sound looks like (not the object making the sound).  After sharing, we then tried to guess what was making each sound.  Students then split into groups and began dropping different materials behind a wall of card board.  They were to draw a picture of what they thought the sound would look like and then attempt to guess the object making the sound.  We came up with a definition for sound as a class.  I will post pictures tomorrow.  Our e-mail is down, so I do not have access to my pictures.

We took our mid term math assessment and then continued our work with finding the common denominator.  Students used area models to create a common denominator and compare fractions.

We have a busy two weeks to finish the term.  Thank you for coming to school on time and ready to learn!!
