Homework: Reading Log and Spelling

Today in class:

Math: Today we talked about the relationship between fractions and decimals. Students worked with converting fractions with a denominator of ten to decimals. We related decimals to money. We made a connection between tenths and dimes.

Language Arts: We continued on our PhotoStories. We should finish those on Friday. We also read the first chapter of Doug Wilhlem's sequel __True Shoes__. It was a very shocking first chapter.

Social Studies: We are continuing with map work and the 5 themes of geography. We are discussing exact location and relative location.

Science: We are beginning to review for our test on Wednesday. You can quiz them about information on digestion in their green packets.
