Thursday

This morning students learned more about adjectives.  They also studied about intensive, reflexive and demonstrative pronouns.  Then they worked on their genre papers, did fluency testing and started the rough draft of their narrative essay.

In math we combined decimals with meters.  They jumped and then measured the jumps in hundredths.  That was fun.  Then they were able to complete the paper to see if they understood the information.

In social studies we looked at rocks and learned about the three different types of rocks.  Then we learned a song.  So often these children compare themselves to each other and only see the other's best side and their worst side.  So we sang a song to encourage the students to realize that it is good to be different.
