Today in math class we practice identifying factors by playing a couple of games and using our Venn Diagram system to work on our answers using paper.

Language Arts; We used Today's Meet to practice our root vocabulary. We also read in the Revealers: Chapter: System Server We formulated questions to discuss from the chapter and will be blogging about them tomorrow. One quote that came up in response to Elliot's "accident" page 81: "If it was grown-ups that did that they would be in jail." Another quote that was interesting on page 81: "The worst kids are the best liars." We will discuss both these quotes tomorrow in class. Social Studies: Today we continued working on Presentations for Land and Water Terms including real-life examples. We learned about making a bibiliography for pictures we use in our presentations. We also learned how to save image as vs. copy and paste. Science: Excitement is building regarding our egg drop. Many students are finishing up their designs. We are looking forward to the big day! Hard boiled eggs would be helpful at this time to test the structure.
