Week 3 Day 3

Reading:
Finish the worksheet on capitalization. Can you now go to your piece of writing and check for your capitalization accuracy? - You do NOT need to work on  your second draft IF you have already completed your first draft. We will work on 2nd drafts in class tomorrow. If you are still in the pre-writing stage, you really should make a 'start' on your draft tonight.

From 'Week at a Glance Sheet'
Can you use PEX to bring your picture book story to life for your family member? - This H/W will be pushed back until late next week when we have had time to practice more

Social Studies
Can  you remember the different strategies we covered today for reading non-fiction? I could sense the difference in the quality of your work once you tried to use the strategies, couldn't you?

Writing
Make sure you are using a variety of sentence openers. These will naturally make your writing more descriptive and engaging. Remember: If you can't draw it, your readers can't see it! - Just because you wrote a draft, you have not finished..."When you've done, you've just begun"

Math
Square Root Games
Finish the Math Races sheet and study link for lesson 1.8
Play this game
http://www.studystack.com/matching-10015 (just click to match the boxes to match the square with the square roots. Plsy three times. See if you can beat your  fastest test.


This next game is REALLY fun. (Honestly, it is H/W if your parents ask! Look at the size of the boxes (arrays and the numbers being squared). You will need to read the instructions before  you start

    Hi mr buxton!
    I'm not sure it what time it is for you right now but I just wanted to say hi and hope you have a great school year!
    I miss seeing you everyday! We are going on to our 5th day tomorrow! It's sad not having humanities with you anymore but all the writing tools you tight me have been useful and helpful this year so far! Have a great day.

    sometimes popplet goes offline due to high demand. If it doesn't load, you have to wait a day and try AGAIN
