January 10th

Here's what we did today:
Math-We reviewed for the Chapter 13 test.  It will be tomorrow or Wednesday if there is a Snow Day. 

Word Study-Groups 1/2 did a buddy check and Groups 3/4 worked on their contract.  If there is a Snow Day, Groups 1/2 will test Wednesday and Groups 3/4 will test Thursday.

Reading-Students met in their literature circles and also began January's Reading Tungsten.

Writing-We looked at some "bad" websites that are not reliable such as Wikipedia and a phony website about the endangered tree octopus.  Students then found a good, reliable website on their famous person and printed out the information.

Social Studies-I gave a Chapter 4 study guide to the class and they had some time to work on it.  Then we reviewed as a class for the test on Wednesday.

Homework:
Math-Study Chapter 13.

Word Study-Study your word lists for your test.

Reading-Groups meet Thursday.

Writing-Continue learning about your famous person. 

Wednesday is Decade's Day!  Dress as a person from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, or 00s and donate money for tornado relief.

Have a good night and stay warm!
