Everyone should now have copies of the outdoor school forms. They are due back by the end of February. Please contact us with any questions about outdoor school. Ratios unit tests need to be signed and returned. Our basic facts / computation quiz is tomorrow. Math night is Thursday from 6:00 - 8:00.
Morning Recap:
This morning after music, we did read to self. In language arts, we began planning our stories. We answered the 5W+H questions about our story and filled out a graphic organizer to show our story plan. If our planning was complete, we looked over some ideas for story beginnings and then wrote a draft of the beginning paragraph of our stories. During math, we started our new unit: integers. For the first time, we are working with both positive and negative numbers. We watched a MathAntics video about integers and did some practice questions as a class to compare integers and look at where various integers fall on a number line. We started an integers booklet, took a break for bench dodgeball in gym, and then continued working on our integer booklet until lunch.
