We were working hard today!
Mrs. H's classes had not only a math test, but a science test today! She is extremely happy with the science tests. This week we will be discussing open-ended problems in Math and starting energy in science.
We began reading “Storm-a-Dust” today in Reading class. So far we know that a terrible drought is going on, and Lindy’s family is having trouble growing crops. We had to stop as soon as we discovered that the “twig” in the wall of dust was actually a person trying to outrun the dust storm! I wonder who this person is and what role they will take on in our story. We’ll find out tomorrow!
Writing classes continued to practice proper usage of possessive nouns. Also, we continued to work on creating strong topic sentences with important supporting details.
Section 1 in Social Studies is complete! Today we learned all about Feudalism and its society. At the bottom were the serfs, who made up 90% of the population. Above the serfs were the nobles, made up of knights, lords, and the king. Students are looking forward to their upcoming blog entry on Alexander the Great! Our quiz on Section 1 will be sometime next week.
Homework:
Charlie Bone: Read p. 262 – 342 and complete role for TOMORROW!
