June 8th, 2009
Class activities for Monday, June 8
Spelling: None today.
Cursive: No more for the year.
Reading: None today.
Writing: No more for the year.
Math: Students played fraction war to compare fractions. We also learned that adding the same fraction over and over is the same as multiplying the fraction by a whole number. For example, 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 = 1/2 * 3 = 3/2. Homework is to change five improper fractions into mixed numbers, by dividing.
Science: We finished learning about states of matter and the water cycle. Homework is to finish Investigation Review pp. 84-85 if not done in class.
Social Studies: None today.
