Math
Today, we worked on line graphs. Let's say we were checking to see how many library books were checked out every day in a week. On Monday, there would be a dot in a certain spot. On Tuesday, there would be a spot under it. Then a line connected the two dots. This graph is used to show a trend. An easier way to know what I mean is to look at a picture. It's kind of hard to explain so check this picture out.



Remember to label everything and you have yourself the perfect line graph. The class completed a couple pages in their Math Journal 2 that was targeting practice on line graphs.

Language Arts
Today, we took our Mixed Up Files Section 2 test. There were questions on figurative language, main idea, supporting detail, and much more. I got about four questions wrong. The way the answers were worded made a lot of possibilities but the correct answers made the most sense. I was upset but the thing that got my smile back was the fact that I got the common nouns & proper nouns and antonyms/synonyms part correct. It was pretty cool.

Science
Today, we went through the answers to our study outline together. For the fill in the blanks section, she blurted out the words in order as we wrote them down. It was pretty quick and easy. We also did the fossils chart. Each table was assigned a type of fossil and they told us the info we needed to write down. Mrs. Colden covered #7. My table did the petrified fossil. It was fun sharing with the rest of the class. We almost got through all of the inquiry questions. We have a couple more questions to go. I just wonder what it's like to have one gigantic fossil right at your face. I bet it would be really exciting.
