This week we spent some time working "Word Choice" in student writing. Using good word choice means that students use the best, most specific word for any occasion. We went through some "boring" words and worked on finding more specific replacements.
In math we began studying and building triangles. Our first step was to determine what all triangles have in common. Next week will begin looking at angles and quadrilaterals.
Lastly, students began constructing their own websites. These websites will be used as electronic portfolios where their work will be stored. Currently, there is only one paragraph on their websites, but they will be adding more to their sites as the school year progresses. You can find your child's website linked off of the classroom site.
