Social Studies- Today the students had time to finish their explorers posters and begin studying for their Social Studies Unit 3 Test which will take place on Thursday.
Literacy- Today in our literacy block the students worked diligently as we studied Irregular Verbs in both our Grammar and Spelling Lesson. In our spelling lesson the students began making a flash cards game in which we will review the irregular past tenses of irregular verbs with a partnered activity. The students were very excited about opening the letters we received from our Pen Pals and reading them. The students began writing a letter back to them. The Pen Pal Letter is Due on Thursday. Unit 9 Spelling Take Home and Spelling Words/Skills Test will be on THURSDAY!
Science- Today the students had the great privilege of caring for our environment here at DCS by going around the playground area and picking up every piece of litter that we could find. The students enjoyed this activity and learned about what kinds of litter exist as well as the harm they can do to the environment. It was interesting to see what kinds of litter the students found and to study where those pieces of litter came from based upon the opinions of the students. We devised a plan for what we might be able to do to educate DCS about the problem of litter on the playground. The students should bring a shoebox, or small box to school tomorrow, one that can be cut up. I will provide several boxes for the students if you are not able to provide one. 
Math- The students began our investigation of decimals today. We used base-10 blocks to help us understand the relationship between fractions, base-10 blocks and decimals. If the students would like to re-take the Math Assessment from Unit 3 i will allow them to do that tomorrow. MB & SL 4.1 Due tomorrow. MB & SL 4.2 due Thursday. The students should have all Math Boxes 3.7-4.1 done by tomorrow. Have a great evening! We look forward to seeing you tomorrow or Thursday!
