Learning More About Sentences

I thought you might enjoy this cute video about Mr. Morton after our lesson today on complete, simple, and compound subjects. It is my hope that you'll be humming it all night long, and it will help you to remember what every sentence needs to be complete. You may notice some pretty choppy sentences in the song, but we will continue our fight against choppy sentences in class tomorrow. Enjoy!

Homework:
Reading - Read chapters 6-10 in Number the Stars and complete your assigned role for next Thursday's cafe!
Math - worksheets and quiz tomorrow - also shopping spree assignment is due

DON'T FORGET TO RETURN YOUR ACTIVITY NIGHT FORM!

Mr. Barzan Visits Our Classroom

Recently, Mr. Barzan has been seen toting a rather large cigarette around! OH NO! Actually, it is a blow up cigarette with many facts about cigarette use written all over it. He visited today to share information about tobacco use and the consequences of using. Today, he began by asking us what we know about tobacco. We shared and compiled a list of what we felt we knew in groups. After we shared, Mr. Barzan shared some facts too! This is his first visit on this topic. He will be presenting other short lessons in the coming weeks. Thanks, Mr. Barzan!

Today in Social Studies we learned about the main physical features of Latin America. We talked about the rainforests, Amazon River and the Andes Mountains. We also talked about some new vocabulary words, such as isthmus, coral, pampas, tributary, and plateau. Latin America covers a huge area! We are looking forward to learning more.

Our topic in Language Arts today was making judgements! We often make judgements, or form opinions about people, things, and ideas. Today's lesson taught us to look for supporting evidence when authors make judgements. It also taught us that WE should have supporting evidence for OUR judgements.
