This morning we spent a bit of time talking about how good authors "show" a scene instead of just "telling" us about it. We didn't have time to write a sample, but we will tomorrow. Check out the power point below.

We also practiced highlighting the Wordly Wise words in part E and reviewed the homework together.

During math, I shared the partial sums method of addition, as well as how helpful ballpark estimates are when solving problems.

We completed pages 44 and 45 in the math journal and played the game "Target 50" which reviewed addition and subtraction facts.



This afternoon, we worked on our Voicethread poems, Ocean Zones project, math boxes, and we visited the computer lab. Mrs. Driscoll challenged the students to make more complicated scripts on Scratch.

We missed you today and hope you can make it back to school tomorrow!
