Happy Tuesday, my friends!

I hope you are doing well and happy.  Today is supposed to be a beautiful day!  I have a message for your parents, from Mrs. Erbskorn regarding the refund from the 5th grade field trip.  Please see the paragraph below.  If there are any questions, don't hesitiate to ask. 

Parents, 

If you paid for the 5th grade trip to Warm Springs, a partial refund will be mailed to you this week.  You will receive a check for $29.25 which is the total amount refunded by the travel company.   We know this is disappointing, and please understand we worked to secure the highest refund we could from the travel company.  Please look for the check addressed "to the parents of ___" in the mail in a Cobb County envelope.

Let's get to today's assignments.  

AM Work / Wordly Wise #17: (20 min)

This week you are working on week 33 in the grammar edits and week 34 in the math review.  

For Wordly Wise, you are on #17 and should be up to section B today.  We will continue to do a section each day and have the last quiz on Wednesday, May 6th.  

Reading: (30 min)

Today is a choice board day.  Please read for your entire 30 minutes today.  Be sure that you have updated your curent book on the flipgrid.  Last week, I provided a link to an online digital library that you can "borrow" books from for free.  All you need is to use your Cobb County log in for the site.  I am including it again today, in case you need a new book.  Remember, searching for a new book does not count as part of your 30 minutes.  😮

Writing: (20 min)

Use the choice board to respond to the section you read today.  Remember my expectations and use complete sentences, text evidence to support your statements, and put your effort into turning in a quality piece of work.  

If you have additional time, after doing the response from the choice board, you may go to the Language Arts section of IXL and do section R. 3, 4, and 5.  

Math: (30 min)

Since we have been wotking on coordinate planes, I want to do my favorite activity related to this skill with you.  In the class notebook under Math for today, you will find a grid with a point for each letter of the alphabet on it. There will also be a set of coordinate points set out for you to decode a message from me.  

In return, you may use the same grid to write a reply back to me, or you may create your own secret code using a coordinate plane and the alphabet and  reply back to me that way.  As an extension, you can send coded messages to your friends using the same thing!  Have fun with this!  😊 

Social Studies: (20 min)

Yesterday, I provided the paper for youto read.  Today, you will go into the class notebook and answer the questions.  You may feel free to look back at the newspaper to help you answer the questions.  

You may want to do that before our meeting because today's Kahoot will be based off of the questions in Social Studies.  

Have fun with your work today and put forth your best efforts!  I will see you at 11:00!!
