Wild Wednesday

Today's Food Web card game is our title inspiration.  Today we also....

  • worked on some MKL vocabulary work
  • took the Chapter 5 Math test

This evening at home...
  • complete the Antarctic Journal Analyze Text questions.
  • complete pages 325 and 326 in the Chapter 6 Go Math book.
  • read!

  3. Explain your thinking. Make the connection between the claim and the evidence. This shows me that.........I think this means........This proves that.......
I hope that these tips will help you and your child understand the expectations. We will be working on turning good writers into great writers every week!
