Lessons & Assignments Friday, February 10th

Math - None - We completed lesson 8.2 today on multiples of fractions.  The skip counting we did in 3rd grade really helped out with today's lesson!

Science - None - We read about soil layers today, and finished our chapter.  We will review on Tuesday, and our test will be on Wednesday.

Language Arts - None - We completed a spelling and grammar page in class today.  We reread our story about the Wright brothers, and continued discussing author's perspective.  We read 3 versions of Little Red Riding Hood today.  One familiar version, one from the wolf's point of view, and one from China.  We compared and contrasted the stories, and discussed how the author's perspective changes from one story to the next.

Social Studies - None - We did not have social studies today.

Kung Pow Chicken: Let's Get Cracking

Book review by Brenden:

I just finished the book Kung Pow Chicken:  Let’s Get Cracking! It is about a chicken that works at his uncle’s secret lab. Until Benny and Gordon fell in toxic sludge. Now they fight crime as Kung Pow Chicken and Egg Drop.The things that I like about it are that it is a hard cover comic book that you can read in school and you can take an AR test on the book.

New Classroom Books

For this post, I welcome our guest blogger, Grace W.  The students submitted their descriptions of our activity today, and Grace was awarded the spot of our guest blogger today.

Today we took out the books that donors donated to us and I was super excited. We all got to choose a book and we all were having fun. I'm really excited for the Baby Sitters Club books. Most of my classmates are excited about the books.
I'm really happy about the grant and I was excited when I heard about Donors Choose website. We also got 31 books! We also made cards and took pictures it was so much fun! :) We are all so grateful. -Grace W.
