April 20th

Here's what we did today:
Math-We learned how to add fractions that have unlike denominators such as 1/4+2/3.

Word Study-I met with Groups 3 and 4 to complete their sorts while Groups 1 and 2 did their word search.

Reading-I met with some students today to practice retelling short passages of either fiction or non-fiction.  This will help to prepare them for the DRA test which will be given in the next few weeks to assess students' reading levels.

Writing-We wrote cinquain poems about spring.  We also visited the library where Mrs. Graef shared many poems with the students.

Social Studies-We worked on a packet to help with the states and capitals.  We also looked up some good websites to practice states and capitals.  A google search will pop up many great sites to use!

Homework:
Math-WS 22.5--odds

Reading-Groups meet tomorrow

Writing-Do something with poetry tonight . . . read some poems, write a poem by yourself or with a family member, look up poems and poetry activities online!

Social Studies-Keep working on the states and capitals! 

Have a great night!
