Class activities for Monday, March 26

Spelling: We reviewed and practiced the homophones they’re, their and there. The unit 9 spelling worksheets are available here.

Cursive: Ten cursive sentences of seven or more words each are due Friday. 

Reading: Today we began a nonfiction cycle of Literature Circles. Each group received magazines that will be read in Literature Circles over the next two weeks.

Writing: None today due to technology.   

Math: Students completed a math test today over the following concepts:

  • rounding
  • estimating sums and products
  • multiplication number stories
  • multiplication problems
  • comparing large numbers

Science: None today due to art.

Social Studies: We reviewed the French and Indian War, talked about why the British won the war (more powerful army), and predicted if Native Americans could ever defeat the British. We started reading about Pontiac’s Rebellion, and will see tomorrow if the Native Americans were successful.
