Happy February!

Today we focused on a lot. For reading we discussed functional text and explored advertisements while looking closely for deception. We examined slogans in articles, advertisements, and compared the information/promises with their nutrition labels. It was really interesting. Cooper, Taylon, and Sara were very motivated. They actually brought out some of their snacks and we read and discussed the labels. Jacob had blueberry yogurt as part of his lunch and it DID have REAL blueberries! What's in YOUR snacks? Red #40? Blue #1 or #2? Yellow #5 or #6, artificial flavors? If it does, you may want to put that snack down according to this article. YIKES!
In math, we finished lesson 5.10 and 5.11. Unit test coming very soon! Please use your user names/passwords to log into the following website competitions:
