Thursday No School on Friday

This morning, after the students took their spelling tests, we worked on using adverbs in sentences.  I have noticed that the students can use them when speaking.  But when they are asked to write a sentence using an adverb, it invariably modifies a noun, and it sounds really strange when we read it aloud.  So today we worked on that problem.

In math we reviewed multiplying whole numbers by mixed numbers.  I think the students felt more secure doing that today.  When we get back on Monday, we will be changing inches to feet and feet to yards and inches.

During social studies students had time to finish their story boards before they begin filming their story on missionaries in Idaho.  They can do some research at home.  The one missionary that is giving them the most problem is Jason Lee.

Finally, homework papers went home tonight.  Please make sure that students are getting these done.  Hope you enjoy having your sons and daughters at home.
