In math we have begun a new unit. We are now learning about capacity and mass. Today we did an experiment testing the capacity of different containers. 

In language arts we continue to plug away at proper sentence structure and punctuation. The student's writing continue to improve.

Today we had a good day.  In literacy the students began reading a new set of books at the guided reading center.  These books are intended to challenge them and broaden their vocabulary.
We concluded our lessons on 2 digit subtraction and will be reviewing both 2 digit addition and subtraction on Thursday. 
The students are learning about advertising in media literacy. They have been creating a poster for Friday's Fish Fry. Ask them about the "5 W's".
Have a great night!

I apologize about the blog this week.  I have been away for a couple days.

Today we worked in small groups during literacy.  We worked together at the listening centers, the writing centers and we read stories to each other. See photos.
The students enjoyed the grade 8's bake sale today.  The grade 8's thank you for the support.

Tomorrow we have a special treat during literacy.  We also have Phys.Ed period three. Please bring proper shoes.
