We read Invasion From Mars in language arts today and the kids did a plot chart.  This is a radio play from the 1930s.  It's a fun story to read aloud.  When this first aired, it sent people into a panic because if they tuned in late they didn't know it was a play and not a real alien invasion!  Tomorrow is our spelling test and tonight's homework is page 64.

The kids worked with partners on word problems in math today.  They did a great job! They also completed a math activity that provided them with clues about an area of the world.  Their task tonight is to see if they can identify the country we discovered.  They also have IXL D.14 and D.15.

We will begin our energy unit tomorrow.  This is always fun!  We will make circuits, learn about switches, discuss magnetism, and make our own electromagnet.  We will also discuss the transfer of energy. This unit will last us a few weeks.
