There's not much new to report today - another great day filled with learning and laughter. Student's model of the heart should be nearly complete, and these will be an invaluable resource as reference when describing the path of blood through the heart. We worked on writing in partners after an independent persuasive writing activity -- students shared their responses and feedback and went on to create a "super final copy" by using the best of their own work to create something even better! We discovered that partner writing is difficult but fun.
We began our Fractions unit today by covering prime and composite numbers, Greatest Common Factor and Prime Factorization. These foundational skills will make reducing fractions, finding common denominators and converting improper fractions to mixed numbers so much easier! Please complete pages 42 and 43 in your Fractions booklet tonight. 5D homeroom children can continue working on their Poem Reports and keep up their solid studying for the Skeletal and Muscular Systems test on Thursday! Please come out to help with Legacy in the morning!
