Week 8 Day 3

This session is still in progress, check back soon!

Agenda:

Look at us making progress.  We are halfway through this week already.  Phew.  Keep up the good work guys.

Vocabulary:

Our Vocabulary “words of the day” are Twilight and Gravity.  Use your words and map them out in your Word Webs. 

Reading Comprehension:

Let’s continue to explore the art of making inferences.  We will also compare and contrast the differences between making inferences and making predictions. (Both of which are useful skills in close reading and will boost your reading comprehension). 

After hearing my instruction, follow the video below to Khan.

Science

The Taiga Biome will be reintroduced, this time with sound!  It’s going to be great.  

Simply follow along with me to get started.  Then fill out the fun fact sheet regarding what you learned from today’s video. 

Math

Today you will be estimating quotients.  Estimates are like logical guesses or “ball park” figures that are not exact.  They are “approximate” figures “close” to the answer.  

This is an extension to what we have learned already in class.  Hopefully this is familiar to you.  It’s important to keep up those skills and refresh from time to time so that you retain them.
