When Pigs Fly Wednesday

Today Mason offered this idiom as an example of figurative language.  Thanks, Mason.   Yes, we discussed idioms today.  Your kids had some great ideas.  It's too bad that today isn't Thursday, because we could have used the title Throwback Math Thursday.  Many parents have already taught their kids how to do double digit multiplication the "old fashioned way."   Today we made it official.   We also had our pictures taken and made time for the Science Lab, where we explored mixtures.  We started our day with some rhyming. The Northeast Region Raps and Songs are coming together beautifully. Groups were able to offer their peers a few verses today.  We should be finished on Friday.


This evening at home....

• Complete the Idiom page, front and back.  Select one idiom for each spot. There are 4.  Here are some ideas: face the music, sly as a fox, ray of sunshine, cracked the case, cost an arm and a leg, pulling my leg, hit the sack, needle in a haystack.  Use one of these, or find your own.  Try to learn something new. No raining cats and dog, please.  
• Complete the following problems in Lesson 3.5 found on pages 173 and 174: 4,6,10,14,15,16,17,18,29.  You do NOT need to do the Homework and Practice.
• Study this week's vocabulary words. Check out the slide show on the Journeys Study Guides tab for lesson 8.

Please.....
