Monday

Students took home the Scholastic Book orders last week. They need to be either turned in or done online (LJ87V is the online code for our class) by tomorrow.

Homework went home today. The spelling words, reading, math, vocabulary and writing assignments are included on that page. Please make sure that is completed and turned in on Friday morning. In spelling we are learning the spelling of the /sh/ sound. It is spelled with "sh" at the beginning and the end of words. The /sh/ sound is spelled with "ti" or "ci" in the middle of the words. We also covered the meaning of the vocabulary words which are: reservation, ominous, desolately, physician and maneuvered

Today we read about a Native American doctor in Nebraska. It is interesting how things have changed in just the last few years medically. We are still learning about fractions. Today was the first day we did the math to find equivalent fractions. Students learned that 1/2 and 3/6 were equivalent. Then they learned that by multiplying or dividing, we can prove the fractions are equivalent.

In Social Studies we began learning about the homesteaders that came into Idaho.

Spelling words are: shawl - attention - shelter - education - information - shatter - addition - publish - ambitious - shoulder - social - special - delicious - official - ancient - physician - vicious - instruction - directions - accomplish
