Today in class:

Students got their NetBooks and logged into their Google accounts. They did a great job helping the tech people get their computers set with our school network.

Language Arts: Today we discussed character traits. Students used evidence from the text, Shells, to create a list of character traits for the two main characters.

Social Studies: Students did a social studies vocabulary activity using their NetBooks. They reviewed and learned land and water terms as part of our mapping skills unit.

Science: We focused on writing a good hypothesis. Students first read about how to write a good hypothesis. They applied that knowledge to writing hypotheses based on a variety of scenarios.
