Taking it in Context Thursday

Today we worked on using context clues to help us grasp an understanding of difficult terms and phrases.  We also spent some time talking about the term Melting Pot and how it applies to immigration and the U.S.A..  Ask your child to explain the concept. I hope that they can!  Tomorrow we will finish our NE Region Scrapbooks.   We will also..... discuss mixtures and solutions, take a reading/spelling/vocab/grammar test, work on our eSparks goals and do some partner problem solving in math.

This evening at home.....

• Read, record and write. After reading, record one interesting fact that is presented in your book. Then, write a paragraph that tells me your opinion about this fact. This is similar to what we did in class today, but you will write a bit more.
• Finish the context clues activity, working with the poem Can't.
• Complete the Go Math problems on pages 175-176

F.Y.I. : I do not anticipate giving any homework over the Thanksgiving break.  If you child is missing homework or classwork, this will be a good opportunity to catch up.
