Tuesday

In math we worked on converting inches to feet to yards. Tonight's homework is to do 4 conversions in their math journal...here are the problems in case anyone forgets their math journal at school:
5 ft. = _____ in.
72 in. = _____ ft.
4 yd. = _____ft.
21 ft. = ____yd.

During reading we used the book Polar Bears to practice identifying questions we have before, during and after reading non fiction text. We discussed how this actually helped our comprehension of what we read. The students also worked on individual reading group assignments.

JGB: Completed creative writing activity in their Fisherman packet.
Dragons: Read chapter 7 and identified new words and questions they had as they read.
Frogs: Read chapter 4 and identified new words and questions they had as they read.

Following lunch and recess we will continue writing personal narratives. Then we will learn new vocabulary words associated with geography. If time permits, we will watch a video clip, from United Streaming, about geography.

Book reports are due tomorrow! Tomorrow is also jersey day to remind children to "team up" against drugs. The Halloween party and parade begin at 2:15 on Friday.
