Atomic Awesomeness

If you click on the title today, you will be taken to the chemical elements site and can play the game to help you understand the concept of atomic structure. ENJOY!

Also, I have the most awesome site that Mrs. Eaton has shared with me! It is a site designed to help you build your vocabulary in multiple subject areas. It is called

freerice.com

Now, here is what is expected of you this week (there will not be another posting on Thursday):

Spelling - there is no Unit list this week. Yesterday, the kids were instructed to develop their own personalized lists. They could have used the science book, social studies, etc. They are to turn in a copy of their list to me on Thursday. They will have their partner Friday give them their test. No contract work is due.

Math - Accelerated math has a family letter 5th grade needs to do journal page 101 and the worksheet that was handed out in class (some finished in class)

Science - use your periodic table of elements and the notes on Atoms to study for the quiz on Friday. ALso, draw a representation of the atom you chose to study. Use the half sheet with the Chlorine example to help you know what belongs in the nucleus and how to draw the electrons on the electons shells.

Writing - know what book you are reviewing for your Book Review. It should be a book you have recently read or you are almost finished reading (we will begin writing this next week).

Guided Reading - Mrs. Hebenstreit's class has reading to do.

Enjoy your days off!
