Fifty-Eighth Day of School

In Writing today we added character descriptions as part of the revising process.

In Reading we have been reading non-fiction selections and analyzing text features. So far, we have identified: photos, diagrams, labels, captions, and how-to's.

In Health, we discussed alcohol. What we took away from the discussion was that:

• Alcohol is a drug.
• A drug can change the way you feel, think, and/or behave.
• Drinking alcohol can cause accidents.
• You must be 21 years old to legally consume alcohol in the state of California.
• If you are old enough to drink, but prefer not to, there are other choices of beverages such as water, juice, or  milk.

Our current chapter in Math presents different strategies for solving equations, for example, using  number line to add and subtract.
