Math - None (Today we did our differentiated Chapter 3 Math test. Grades are in PowerSchool and tests are coming home today. Please keep practicing multiplication flashcards at home as we will be doing a lot of multiplication in the next few weeks.)
 
Science - None (Today we worked on finishing an Isaac Newton Webquest after we did our second lab. They had to search the website provided to find the answers to all the questions in packet about Isaac Newton. The lab was based on Newton's Third Law of Motion...for every action, there is a reaction. I had them blow up balloons and released them which created balloon rockets flying around the room. The air inside pushing out the open end created an "action", and the balloons motion is its "reaction". We had lots of laughs with this one.)
 
Social Studies - None (Today we worked on Unit 2 Post-Test together as a class. We answered questions aloud and looked for the answers in our textbooks. Grades are in PowerSchool and tests are coming home today.  Reminder about 50 states test on November 17th...Students must spell the states correctly and make sure they are all capitalized too. If not, they will lose a 1/2 point on each one written incorrectly. They will have a word bank on the day of test, so they have to copy carefully and correctly.)
