Review day in Math today!! We are ready to apply our knowledge of Order of Operations (Remember Dear Aunt Sally!), The Properties of Addition and Multiplication, The Distributive Property, Mental Math Strategies, and Word Problems. Remember to do some sample problems from each section or redo some review questions. Good Luck!
After incorporating our partners' suggestions, we began to type our drafts of 'It Happened to Me!' Everyone is very excited about sharing these stories. We are very close to finishing them.
In Reading, we were introduced to new vocabulary words for Hot Dogs and Bamboo Shoots, our new story. Some of the words were ones we've never used before. We also practiced recognizing broad statements that refer to several people or things called generalizations. After finding examples in a short story, we discussed whether they were valid or faulty statements. Generalizations are easy to find when the author uses key words such as many, all, usually, etc. We will continue to apply this skill in the coming week. New spelling words with R-controlled vowels are also being practiced. The R is such a bully letter! When it follows a vowel, the vowel forgets how to make its usual sounds! These words can be practiced on the Spelling City link on our blog.
Our team also had a chance to prove what they knew about compound and complex sentences today! A quiz was given in class.
