A little extra time makes math assignment easier

In math we finished chapter 6 and every class commented on how easy today’s assignment was!  I told them the reason it seemed easy is because we had spent a little extra time on it, and they understood it!  I told them they could study using the practice test on page 359 in their texts.  I will put the answers below so that they can check their work.

In spelling each group played Sparkle and illustrated half of the words on their individual lists.  The odd illustrated the odd-numbered, and the even illustrated the even numbers.

In language the groups finished their "lost cupcake" ads. 

And for some good news!  We received a Bobcat Grant and will be receiving individual dry erase boards and a set of boards that have different math skills already on them, such as a place value chart to be filled in.  Thank you, Ms. Massey!

Have a great Thursday evening!
