Students use math to make predictions

In math today we worked with taking information and making predictions.  We used our knowledge of proportions to do this.  We made a tally chart of the 20 people in our math class today of eye colors.  We then took that information and made predictions of each eye color (blue, brown, green, or hazel) for our school, based on an enrollment of 600.  Our paper assignment is wb pages 119-120.

In spelling the Wordskills group worked with synonyms, antonyms, word choice, and analogies.  They worked with words they have had throughout this series.  The Evan-moor group worked on editing and definitions on pages 33-34.

In language we wrote another poem.  This one was on color.  They were to choose one color for the whole poem or use a different color for each line. 
Example:  Purple is like being with family.
                Purple is like the feeling of success.
                Purple is like smooth, unmarked carpet.
                Purple is like shiny jewelry.
                Purple is like a road trip, filled with fun.

Have a great Tuesday!
