Lessons & Assignments Thursday, October 20th

Math - 4.4 - We practiced dividing by tens, hundreds, and thousands today.  The easiest way to do this is to identify the basic fact, and count the number of zeros.

Science - None - We did a lab activity on adaptations of bird beaks today.  Students took different tools (pliers, forceps, pencils, spoons, clothespins) and tried to pick up various types of food (rice, spaghetti, gummy worms, raisins, sunflower seeds).  They were able to figure out that birds' beaks are adapted to the types of food that they eat.

Language Arts - None - We had JA during our language arts time today.  We also completed a spelling and grammar page in class, and reread our weekly story.  We practiced identifying when, where, and why details in writing, and wrote our own sentences that included those details.

Social Studies - None - We worked on our DG, and read about the early inhabitants of Illinois.  We read about the Cahokia Mounds, and watched a quick Discovery Education clip about the history of the mounds.
