Tuesday, April 3rd

Today in math we worked on measuring the weight of different items using a scale using ounces.  WE also reviewed what we learned yesterday, which was measuring liquids using liters, cups, pint, quart, and gallons.  Tomorrow we will be learning a little story that will help the student remember that there are 4 quarts in a gallon, 2 pints in quart, ect.

In reading we learned the word "suffix"and worked with common suffixes that we all knew: ing and ed.  We noticed that most all the words we came up with that ended in 'ing' were actually verbs that described a current action.  We also noticed that words that end with 'ed' were describing something that happened in the past.

In writing we actually reviewed some contractions with a fun game and wrote stories with contractions.  We took a mini-contractions quiz to see if all the students were ready to move on from this concept or if some students still needed to practice with it.  I am still working on graded the quizzes but will have them all ready by tomorrow!

NO SCHOOL THIS FRIDAY! Remember that Homework is due on Thursday (especially that Flat Stanley address sheet, I would REALLY like to send the letters on Friday so that that can be on their way to their destinations while we are off for Spring Break)

Thank you to Shelby's mom, Caleb's Mom, and Di'Yah's mom for being our mystery readers today!! We loved having you all in our classroom :)
