Language Arts

Today when we started language class we took out our homework and read while Ms. Booth checked them as usual. We read for a quite long time.  Then we corrected our own homework and Ms. Booth gives us the correct answers.  In Ms. Booth's classroom there's a chart that has a list of jobs and we raised our hand if we wanted to do it.  She picked two students for each job.  Next, we took out our article about '' A Long and Difficult Journey Across The Atlantic''.  We read the article ourselves  and annotated.  Ms. Booth said if we finish annotating we can read it to our partner and show each other what we annotated.  There were also four questions and we answered it with our partner. When we came back from snack we switched to math.

Math

In math, the first thing we did was the warm up. The problem was “A shelf is 2.6 meters long. Each box is 0.45 meters long. The shelf will only fit one layer of boxes. What is the greatest number of boxes that will fit on the shelf?” The answer was 5 boxes. The first question for the common core quick check was 15.6 x 10. The answer was 160. The second problem was 8.2 x 4. The answer was 32. The third problem was 19.5 x 5. The answer was 100. The fourth problem was 15.85 x 7. The answer was 112. The fifth problem was “A can of marbles costs $0.29. A bag of buttons costs $0.42. Estimate the total cost of 3 cans of marbles and 2 bags of buttons.” The answer was $1.70.  After that, we DIDN’T correct yesterdays homework . We took out our math books and did lesson 3, which was multiplying decimals by whole numbers. We did pages 391-394 in class. The homework pages were 395-396, Ms. Booth also passed out a simplifying fractions worksheet. At 11:40, Ms. Booth had to leave for a meeting and we had a substitute named Mr. Green. Then when we got back from lunch we played SumDog until we switched to Social Studies. That was what we did in math.
