Tech Day

Today was a computer day for sure! We used laptops to type up a description of our Special Place, then we did some typing practice on Tux Typing. Later in the day, we checked out our Social Studies textbook online (a sheet with passwords came home already - I will print another to send home tomorrow). We have a challenge to find out the meaning of the word "Cheektowaga." Use your online resources. In Math, we played a game on a great website - CLICK HERE! that helped us study square numbers (you can also check out the link in the Link Column called "Penguin Games"). We read our Reading story today, Hot and Cold Summer, after reviewing the vocabulary and setting in mind our strategies to use while reading.

Here is our homework:Spelling test - contract due (unless you are one of the 10 off contract)
Math - 5th grade has our Unit 1 test on Friday and due tomorrow is journal page 21.
Accelerated has math boxes 1.7 and 1.8 due
Reading - Hot and COld Summer character sketches - test for this story will be Friday!

Also, if you do not have your own set of headphones or earbuds, please bring those in as soon as possible!

Need a dollar? Tell me the following "I've got character!!" before 9:15 tomorrow (and mean it!)
