Spelling: None today.
Cursive: Cursive workbook pp. 72-74 are due Friday.
Reading: Students completed a STAR Reading test today.
Writing: We learned about the core democratic values of rule of law today. We also talked about the persuasive letter project today (more details here). Homework is for students to select an idea that would improve our school or community. For example: Should we have more fire extinguishers at McGrath? Should we have a longer lunch? Should we have more after school programs? Should we have a Spanish class for students?
Our next piece of writing is a persuasive essay, due Friday, February 28.
Math: We practiced rounding to estimate products, comparing the estimate to the answer to see if it is reasonable, and then multiplying with partial products to get the actual answer. Journal P5-6 corresponds. Students also used Khan Academy to practice math skills.
Science: Studnets completed a matter and energy test today.
Social Studies: We learned that one important purpose of government is to keep people save and protect rights. A rules and laws help do that.
