Feb. 15, 2017: Wednesday

Once again, Wednesday proves to be a quieter time in the classroom, and today was no different.

In Language Arts/Reading, we played around with rhyming words and then used them to make some couplet poems. After that, the students put some dictionary skills to use, and then practiced using "when" and "how" adverbs in sentences.

For Science the students wrote a quiz, and finally presented their conservation posters. Well done on the posters, students!

The students had an activity with Sister Jean during ECA as the teachers had their monthly professional development meeting.

HOMEWORK:
1) Frindle Questions - Please write the questions in your notebook and answer them in complete sentences:
        - What was your favorite part of the book?  Why is it your favorite?
        - Did you like the book? Why or why not?
        - How would you change the ending of the story?
        - Is it fair that Nick makes money off his idea? How about Bud Lawrence?
