Tuesday, April 16

 Hi parents,

We had a pretty good day today. In the morning, we learned about writing dialogue, using quotation marks. We also talked about using adverbs to describe the way characters in a story deliver their dialogue.

Students wrote 5-6 sentences of their own hypothetical dialogue, using adverbs to spice things up. For example, 

"I've asked you to clean up your lego a hundred times," said the parent hopelessly.

In math we did some multiplication word problems. They went pretty well. We'll move on to division by next week I'm sure, but multiplication is one of those concepts that you can never fully move on from. We'll keep up the daily practice till the end of the year.

In Social Studies, we continued learning about India, and the class did more sketch-noting. Today we learned about the three seasons (Winter, Summer, and Monsoon), and also about a village in India that is the wettest place on earth. It was really interesting!

More students presented their novel studies. I'm so proud of them. 

Have a nice night,

Zac
