Hi everyone!
So today we did a lot of reviewing for our Language Arts exam on Monday that included:
What are nouns?
What are proper nouns?
What are pronouns?
What are verbs?
How do we use: 'is' 'are' 'were' was; in sentences
What are complete sentences?
What are contraction?
What is an apostrophe?
In math we have learned what is means to talk about a whole number and how fractions are when this whole number is broken up into equal pieces. Students are now familiar with recognizing 1/2 , 1/3 and 1/4's. The important aspect of this unit is students comprehension when speaking of what a fraction means.
Science: Began our investigative research, we will observe and record weather for 5 days and predict what the weather will be like on day 6.
Homework:
Spelling: Study for spelling quiz
Science: Brain Check
Apply Concepts pages 265-266
