Literacy
More practice today at bumping up our stretchy sentences. Remember to use your creativity, imagination and BOOK OF LISTS! At the end of the week, you will be doing a self assessment of your writing so far.

Reading groups tomorrow. PLEASE PRACTICE READING YOUR BOOK OUT LOUD.  You will have a test after you read the book with your group. There will be 10 multiple choice questions and the focus question is still characteristics of a narrative. You may use the example in your notebook as a guide.

We also brainstormed our line for our school prayer. This is what you came up with. I combined a few ideas. I must submit our idea tomorrow so think about which one you like best. The line must be under 10 words. If an amazing idea pops into your head, you are more than welcome to share it with the class tomorrow.

Strengthen us to be like you.
Strengthen us to follow you and choose right over wrong.
Strengthen our love for everyone
Strengthen us to conquer hard tasks
Strengthen us to be ourselves
Strengthen us to choose the path of love
Strengthen us to have the courage to never give up

Math
We had some excellent number detectives who followed and wrote clever clues today.

Can you guess three possible numbers that fit these clues? 

What number can it NOT be?

• I have five digits.
• I can be expressed as ____ hundreds but not ____thousands.
• My thousands digit is twice my ten-thousands digit.

Please take some time today and play the match-up game. It will give you ideas on how to write different kinds of clues for your own mystery number on the cue card.

INSTRUCTIONS

 • Play with a partner or in a small group

 • Shuffle the cards and arrange them in a 4-by-4 array face down.

 • Take turns turning over two cards: – If the number and clues match, keep the matching cards. – If the cards don’t match, turn them over. – If you get two number cards or two clue cards, turn them over and take another turn. 

• Play until all the cards have been matched. • The player with more matched cards wins.
