What did we do in class today?
Math: Today we will continue our work with linear relationships, now exploring lines that do not start at the origin (0, 0). These relationships will take on the form y = mx+b where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. Students will learn to graph and find the slope from such relationships. For instance, if Clayton has $100 in his savings account and saves $10 each month, the equation y = 10x +100 will represent the graph of Clayton's total savings y after any number of months x.
ELA (Mrs. Goodwin/Ms. Nielsen): Today students are finishing identifying sound evidence in an article and categorizing them (interview, data, etc.); students were able to choose which article they wished to analyze. If they did not finish this assignment, they will need to take it home for homework so we can have it for our lesson tomorrow.
ELA (Mrs. Brown):Students will be working on identifying the "schwa" sound, prefixes, roots and affixes practice and identifying the verb form of "be"
Social Studies: Students are continuing their work on Imovie trailers and beginning work on Imovies about the 3 branches!
