Class activities for Wednesday, May 15
Spelling: None today.
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences, seven or more words each, are due Fridays.
Reading: Students completed a STAR Reading test today.
Writing: We talked about using line breaks to write words on a line that all belong to the same idea. Students also worked on their poems. A collection of poems will be due Sunday, May 19. Homework on weekdays is to work on writing for 15 minutes.
Math: We worked on multiplying mixed numbers again today. Homework on weekdays is to practice math for 15 minutes using MobyMax or Khan Academy.
Science: We did an experiment together to test how to get water and oil to stay mixed together. To do this, we mixed in some corn starch, flour, or lecithin. We found the lecithin helped the oil and water stay mixed, the flour stayed mixed for a while but started to separate into layers, and the corn starch separated quickly.
Social Studies: We reviewed for tomorrow’s test about the American Revolution.
Character Strength: We are learning about the #OtherPeopleMatter mindset.
