Good morning! The birds are singing outside this morning and the sun is bursting through the trees behind me. The flowers I planted over break are full of color, but begging me to go out and water them. I will have to do that after I talk to you guys, though! I will also be posting an additional blog today with activities from the specialists and counselors. Those activities can be done when ever you are able to through out the week, just for a fun creative outlet!
The meeting log-in for this whole week is the same as yesterday, so use that and I will see you at 11:00.
Today's Assignments
Reading: (30 min)
Today you will be reading for 30 minutes on a book of your choice, but please be sure that it is on your reading level. If you find youself continuing to read the same type of book (ie: graphic novels, babysitter club) try something new! Branch out to something completely different and see how that is. If you need a good suggestion, look through the flip grid and see what your friends are reading!
Writing: (20 min)
You will use the choice board (I included another copy below) to respond to the book you read. This is a new sheet, so you may now re do things on the choice board that you did before Spring Break.
If you finish the choice board assignment early, you may go into IXL and work on commas. 5.QQ.4 focuses on commas in an introductory phrase, and 5.SS.4 works on punctuation with dialogue (quotes).
Math: (30 min)
As we continue working on Volume, I will be focusing on that in our meeting today. We will create an anchor chart and do a few things together on Volume. There will be a WS in the notebook section that we will work on together. Before the meeting, make sure that the math sheet is on your screen so that you can switch back and forth between the two.
There are assignments loaded in Khan Academy for you. A few videos and practice questions on the volume of rectangular prisms.
For extra practice, there is one IXL assignment that goes along with it. 5.EE.14. If the questions ask for the cubic roots, as I have heard from other teachers, please, skip those or just do your best on that. Cubic roots are not one of our standards, so you do not have to worry if you run into a question like that and don't get it.
Science: (20 min)
Continuing our start with electricity and magnetism, your job is to read the lesson on what makes the static electricity. Yesterday, you had the opportunity to play around with static electricity, or at least watch funny videos of balloons being stuck to cats, and today you are going to read why it works! The pages are clipped for you and in the science section of the class notebook for today.
Ok, guys!! Go for it and I will see you all at 11:00.
