Friday and Tuesday

For some reason I can't get on the site, I can edit things however.  Remember the spelling test is tomorrow.  Today we started on our narrative essay.  We worked more on decimals and fractions.  Students learned about the celebration of Passover and got to eat matzos.  We also looked at my pictures of the lunar eclipse.

I hope I can get this blog working again.

We took our spelling and reading tests this morning.  Then students learned about Narrative Essays.  These are essays that are stories about the author.  The idea of the essay is to make a point about something they have learned in their lives. Students took home a pink paper to help them come up with an idea for their essay.

In math we continued our work with decimal fractions.  Students seem to be understanding this pretty well.

In the afternoon, for social studies, we went over to the cemetery to see what we could learn there.  We looked at the different headstones to glean information about the people who have died.  We will take that information on Monday and use it as part of a lesson from our book.

Have a great week-end.
