Writing Wednesday

The Pumpkin Projects are due tomorrow. Today we worked diligently to draft and revise our writing. Your kids worked so hard!  We practiced peer editing. Kids learned how to give constructive, specific feedback, and how to compliment too.   Most kids are coming home with a copy that is revised and ready to be published!

Today we also went to the Science Lab, where we reviewed how to measure volume. Our focus today was on MASS. We use the Triple Beam Balance to measure mass of several objects. This task was challenging!   This lesson integrated lots of math skills.

This morning, we worked on our daily math and grammar skills. We also used the ipads to gather information for our Social Studies posters. We practiced taking notes using a subject heading and bullet points.

Tonight at home....

• Use the quad-fold index cards to publish the final draft of your writing. Decorate by adding a themed border or other illustrations, if you have the space.
• Finish decorating your pumpkin and bring it to school tomorrow.
• There is NO MATH homework this evening.
