Thursday, 10/21/10

YEY! Mrs. Smith is back! Our teacher was pleasantly welcomed back by loads of hugs and fall break adventure stories. We began the day learning about synonyms and practiced using a thesaurus. We caught up with the latest news with our morning meeting where we discussed current events and optional, oral presentation fall break summaries. Our teacher showed us two websites that helped us learn about the places we are studying in geography and the places Mrs. Smith happened to be at during her fall break, London and Ireland. In math we are learning about angles (right, acute, obtuse, adjacent, vertical & opposite). In science, Mrs. Elena, our former UCAT from the University of Arizona taught us about the human body. We'll miss Miss Elena. ;-( but we are getting a new UCAT next week  :-)
Today was a short but great day. Our fifth grade class is learning a lot.
Homework: Don't forget to update your standards based reading logs, math study link, study for geography quiz, and finish any unfinished assignments.
