Literacy
Today we revised and reviewed correct conventions for writing dialogue. There are many rules, so it is important that you learn to write dialogue correctly. For those of you who did not get a chance to write today's dialogue, here is the picture. Think about it for tomorrow. Beside it is the picture for Tuesday.

Tomorrow you will get your word test back and your new words for this week. I have moved the test to Monday because there seems to be more students absent on Fridays.

Math
Today we continued with estimating. We used rounding to friendly numbers and high and low estimates. See the weekend post for the steps for these rounding strategies. Another way to estimate quotients was in your practice pages. Again, it takes reasoning skills and knowledge of multiplication facts to use this strategy. It involves decomposing a number into two numbers are that are divisible by the divisor.

For example: Estimate the 57 ÷ 4
There are two friendly numbers with a divisor of 4 that you could use
Round 57 to 60 and decompose 60 into 20 + 40
40 ÷ 4 = 10
20 ÷ 4 = 5
So our estimate is 10 + 5 = 15

We could also use 56 as a friendly and decompose 56 into 40 + 16
40 ÷ 4 = 10
16 ÷ 4 = 4
So our estimate is 10 + 4 = 14

Study for your multiplication quiz tomorrow, complete your MathUP questions. Get your work signed by a parent.

Science
Today we looked at the characteristics of different solids, liquids and gases. Tomorrow we will discuss your observations and make some conclusions. Vocabulary for today:
transparent, translucent, opaque
viscosity (viscous)
malleability (how bendable)

Religion
We read and watched our third Easter story, The Road of Emmaus. Please complete your summary for tomorrow. Watch the shorter clip below if you forget the story. It is from the gospel according to Luke.
