What did we do in class today?
Math: Today students are using cheese it to find perfect squares and perfect cubes. They will create a chart of perfect squares and cubes for the roots 1-20. Studnets will also work with square roots and cube roots.
ELA: Today students took notes over how allusions and analogies impact the meaning and tone of a fiction work. We then practiced a strategy to use together, then students began to practice in groups with a different poem. Students do have homework tonight. In case your child forgets it, it can be found by clicking this link.
