Weight Distribution Wednesday

Today we spent some time in the lab testing out our bridge designs.  There was lots of trial and error, and kids used their research to support their design options.  There was a lot of talk about distributing weight!

Today we also.....

• talked about run-on sentences.
• read.
• worked with partners to find the theme of short reading passages.
• worked on using "mental math" strategies and properties of multiplication to solve problems
• finished our theme entries in our Readers Notebooks.
• went to library.

Don't forget that tomorrow is Picture Day!

This evening at home...

• In the packet, read Cartoons For Grown Ups. Answer the questions on the back.
• In the packet, complete the Venn Diagram and short response for Cartoons for Grown Ups. I am sorry that these pages are not in order!
• Complete the HW and Practice for Lesson 2.8
