We started a new set of Centers this morning. Students also wrote their lesson 6 Spelling Test and their TWAS. Please remember to read their wonderful letters home!

After recess, we learned a new estimation strategy...Compatible Numbers. We will continue to practice using this strategy, as well as Front End Rounding.

During Writing, we discussed transition words and how these types of words help our writing to flow better. We identified various transition words in a story that I wrote. We will dig into our own writing next week and try to incorporate transition words.

We then shifted to Social Studies where students tried to write out our national anthem. We also discussed the causes of Western expansion.

Students then had French and Phys Ed.

We finished the day working on our digestive system models. Students will have one more class to wrap up their models.

Enjoy the weekend!!
