The digestive system....

Well, although the intention today was to begin our study of the digestive system with the beginning of the digestive system, 5G students quickly took things to the END of the digestive system - causing some laughter at the end of the day (although there was laughter in other parts as well).  SOme informal homework for this evening is to eat a few different things while looking in the mirror and notice which teeth you use for different jobs.

Other HOMEWORK today includes:

1. Finish the 7 definitions for reading.  Be sure to list either the guide words or the source of your information in parentheses right after the definition (example: (Dictionary.com)
2. Log your 20 minutes of reading.  While the log is due on Friday, logs will be randomly checked throughout the week.
3. Write your paragraph detailing one item from your Top Ten list.  Elaborate on the who, why, where, when, how, what, and more!  Try to include a topic sentence  and a closing sentence.
4. 10 Word Sort sentences are DUE FRIDAY (choose 10 words from the word sort bag to use in a sentence each) - be sure to use the rubric at the bottom of the given page to help you know my expectations!  Use the back for more room or another sheet of paper.
5. All kids should study math facts at their own level and with the resource that works best for them.  There are resources on my blog that can help.  Some kids did not pass their first Rocket Math test and so should be taking that level test home in their math section nightly until it is passed.

As a reminder, there is a student council meeting (brief) tomorrow after school.  If you cannot stay but are still interested, please see Mr. Maldonado or Mrs. Carney for more information during the school day (ask your teacher).
