The students
took the NWEA test during computer time to monitor their progress from the
beginning of the year. We took a science quiz on plant parts, their function,
and photosynthesis. In Language Arts, we are reading a nonfiction article
called, “Stealing Beauty.” We are
working on distinguishing fact and opinion. In Math, we are starting a new
chapter on geometry. As the Science Fair approaches, the students handed in
their paragraphs about their projects this Friday.

This
four day week seemed to go so fast. In Language Arts, we have been practicing
our listening and note taking skills. We put the final touches on our photosynthesis
posters and have been learning many interesting things about plants in
Science. We continued to multiply with
greater numbers and took a chapter 7 math test this week.
1/13
This
week in Language Arts, we read a story called, “My Diary from Here to There”.
We used clues from the story to help us make inferences. In Grammar, we worked
on spelling plural nouns correctly. In Math, we are working on multiplying 3
digits by 2 digit numbers. Please study math facts every night. We compared parallel
circuits to series circuits in Science. Please continue to work on your Science
Fair projects at home. “Designing the Investigation” is due on Jan. 20.
