Class activities for Wednesday, April 19

Spelling: None today due to MSTEP.

Cursive: Ten cursive sentences, seven or more words each, are due on Fridays.

Reading: None today due to MSTEP.

Writing: We talked about using the 2, 3, 1 method of organizing information on slides. The idea is not to lead with the best information, or the least interesting. Save the best information for last, but start with the second-most interesting information. This will interest the reader to keep listing. Put the less interesting information in the middle of the slide, and the best fact is saved for last.

Students also continued to create digital slides to display their research. Students will share their research as a digital presentation during our  I-Search Conference on May 2. Homework is to continue to work on slides for their presentation.

Math: None today due to MSTEP.

Science: Students worked on a district science experiment about force and motion again today.

Social Studies: We read about how the Continental Army took several defeats after their initial wins; Nathan Hale the spy was captured and sentenced to death; George Washington led a sneak attack on Christmas day and defeated German mercenaries for a much-needed victory after his defeats.
