Thursday, January 27th

The grade 6 students were awesome reading with their grade 2 reading buddies today. Some of these students get totally into character and change up their voices which is really great modeling for the younger students. Way to go grade 6!

LA
Lots of grammar work today. Ask your child if they can explain what a sentence is.
There are three types that were reviewed to use in our writing.
1.     Question
2.     Declarative
3.     Exclamatory

Grammar work due Tuesday.

There will be weekly grammar work and lessons from now on which is proving to help with the student's writing in other subject areas.

Spelling Test tomorrow! 

Remember Genius hour plans are to be done tomorrow for research time.

Math
Today was a day for calculators.
When reviewing fractions and thinking about how to convert them into percent, the most simple way to do this is to divide the numerator into the denominator. From there, the decimal can be converted to % by multiplying by 100. This work will be continued tomorrow and how factors and multiples fit it will be connected to this learning.

Science
Ask your child about the FRAYER model and the deep thinking that went into this work.

LAST DAY FOR GYMNASTICS TOMORROW!
Mission Impossible Rocks!
