It's Thursday already!

Today in reading we worked individually. We are reading Chapters 9 and 10 of the book Tracker. Students are to do the following work in their journal:
1. Write 2 personal opinions with reasons.
2. Write 3 questions they would like to ask the author.
3. Draw 1 visualization with a 1-2 sentence explanation.
4. Describe John's emotions at the end of chapter 10. Predict how the book will end.
Be ready to share thoughts in Book Club on Friday morning.

In math we started chapter 5 yesterday. We are learning how to multiply fractions and mixed numbers. Today's assignment is p. 254 (14-25). With a deck of cards, you can play Guess my Factors to help practice math facts. We played yesterday and everyone had a lot of fun.

Today in science, students will use household materials, each with its own properties, to make a different material with new properties. We will be making slime out of Borax, white glue and water. Be expecting it to come home tonight in a baggie.

Hope you have a good day!
