Thursday

Students took their spelling test today and did quite well. They re-read The Voyage of the Mayflower and then read the short story, "Pocahontas." Finally they worked on their vocabulary words and then studied Language Arts by practicing their tests on the laptops. For math we reviewed some of the problems the students didn't understand on their ISATs yesterday. Then we began learning about congruent shapes which must have the shape and size the same. At the end of class we began learning about the different ways you can move figures, slides (transitions), flips (reflections, and turns (rotations.)

In Social Studies we learned about the timber industry in Idaho. We discussed the many jobs that are made from lumbering. We also discussed that is was important to take care of our trees so that they are available for future generations.
