Talking About Theme Tuesday

The theme of the day is Theme.  Ask your student to explain this to you!

Today we.....

  • Met in small groups to discuss last night's reading of Holes.  We also talked about Theme.
  • Created a page in our IL book: IL Ecosystems
  • Read folktales, fables and myths and responded by creating mind maps with the Ideasketch app.
  • Worked on our Vocabulary Cartoons to help us review the Theme 4 words.
  • Discussed how using "compatible numbers" can help us make strong estimates in division.  We are focusing on finding multiples of the divisor.
  • Used the Compound Light Microscope to observe plant and animal cells

Tonight at home....
  • Read chapters 25,26,27 in Holes and complete the Fact Finder page
  • In the Math text, complete page 259, 4-30 even problems
***Students, please get into the habit of writing a heading on your paper.  This should include your name, the date and the title of the assignment.  Thank you!
