Class activities for Thursday, April 20

Spelling: None today due to MSTEP.

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

Reading: Today was a reading skills practice day.

Writing: We talked about writing using a natural voice. This means writing like people talk, and not writing like a book or website sounds. A nature writing style will be more interesting to read than something that sounds more stuffy.

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: We practiced adding fractions with unlike denominators. Homework is to practice math for at least 15 minutes using MobyMax Math or Khan Academy.

Recent skills we’ve worked on:

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

Social Studies: None today due to MSTEP.
