ELA and Haehl Science

ELA- We started looking at the vocabulary for our next story, Fine? by Margaret Haddix. The four words we are looking at and should know the definition of, plus spelling are: technician, reminisce, conscientious, and emphatic. These definitions can be found on page 31 of their reading notebook. Their homework is to complete the sentence starters on page 32 of their notebook using their definitions on page 31.

Science- Today we started focusing on our catastrophic events since we have had so many recently. We built our graphic organizer to help us keep track of the causes and effects of each disaster and then wrote our buring questions that we can spend time answering at the end of each class. There is no homework for tonight :)

There is no science homework :)

As far as reading, they need to finish their writing reflection. They had plenty of class time, so it should be pretty close to done. They should also be reading for at least 20 minutes each day. They should complete their second reading response question.  

Thank you for your continued support! Have a great 4 day weekend!

Their homework is page 30 in their notebooks. Also, tomorrow we are starting our "Fears and Phobias" test.

We will be starting a program of weekly reading challenges to get them reading more at home. 20 minutes a day has such high impact for such little work.

Science- We looked at how climate and weather are different from each other and how each one is important to know. Their homework is to complete the Venn diagram of how weather and climate are similar and different form each other. They are also to find the weather for their city and record it on page 15 of their notebook.
