Tuesday November 1, 2016

Hi everyone,

This morning during Reading class the students were excited to continue reading and discussing The Witches. We talked about how to write clear, accurate answers to comprehension questions. During Science class we talked about food chains and different types of consumers. Students worked on an interactive notebook activity to demonstrate their understanding.  During Math we started to learn how to write equations with variables to represent word problems. It's a pretty tough concept so I want everyone to practice on IXL tonight. In Social Studies, they wrote their World War 1 and Treaty of Versailles quiz.
