I hope that you all had a good Spring Break! The week off was a nice break, but it is nice to be back into a regular schedule. There was an e-mail from Cobb County to the schools regarding the weekly at home learning schedule. I will be teaching remotely Monday through Thursday, and Friday is a catch-up day. You will use Friday to catch up and complete any assignments that you did not get to during the week, and I will use Friday to review everyone's progress, plan new lessons for the upcoming week, and contact students who need more support with options and small group sessions. Our class meetings will be Monday - Thursday. Friday will be small group sessions and book club.
This week's class meeting code is:

Today's Assignments:
Am Work and Wordly Wise: (20 min)
Begin this new week of morning work grammar edits and the daily math review. We are also starting Wordly Wise #16. The Quiz on this new list will be Wednesday, April 22. Today you are only making flash cards for the words and definitions.
Reading: (30 min)
We are going to begin a unit on Poetry. Before Spring Break, I had you go to IXL and do 5.L.1 and 2. I would like for you to do that again, obtaining at least a 90% mastery score. Then do 5.F.1 and 2 on figurative language.
As a heads up, how many of you have the book "Love that Dog" or are able to get a hold of it? Just curious.
Writing: (20 min)
In today's mini lesson we will be discussing how to choose and develop a seed idea into a theme or big idea. In this week's lessons, you will use all that you have learned this year and in years past to plan you memoir. I will have the slides from the power point posted in the class notebook for you to look over, but it will probably be easier to identify the small moment stories and themes for your memoir after we meet as a group.
Math: (30 min)
This week we will begin learning about volume. Volume is 3 dimensional, meaning it has 1) length 2) width and 3) depth, or how deep it is. Area, if you remember is only 2 dimensional. It only has length and width. When you are looking to find the Area, you multiply the L x W. For volume, since it is 3 dimensional, you will multiply the L x W x D (depth). There is a Khan Academy video to help you with this. Your assignments are to watch the videos and do the assigned exercises for volume with unit cubes.
On IXL, you will practice the same skill 5.EE.13.
Science: (20 min)
We are about to get started on our next topic, electricity. I have a demonstration planned for you today during our meeting and hopefully you will be able to explore a little on your own at home. There is a section for you to read in the Science section of the class notebook.
I will see you guys at 11:00. Please have your cameras on the whole time. Thank you.
