Culture Overload!

Kids -  I have really enjoyed hearing about all the different cultures represented in our classroom through the culture projects.  Thank you for doing such a great job on presenting the information on your posters in an organized and detailed manner!

Parents - See the Weekly Work folder, there should be 4 items in there to check out (of course that is not ALL the work we do all week).

As a reminder to those of you in band and orchestra - THERE IS NO BAND  or ORCHESTRA AT ALL THIS WEEK!!!  Do not show up tomorrow morning!  The schedule that your parent got at sign up will go into effect next week!  Thanks.

If you are interested in the Drum Ensemble Group, show up for the first practice (with a permission slip) on Thursday after school in Mr. Pape's room.  If you are not in band or orchestra, consider this as a way to activate parts of your brain you didn't know existed!!  FUN!!!


Homework for this week:
Reading - Log 20 minutes each day of the week (logging on the weekends is good practice to instill the habit!)  Also for reading - the vocabulary sketches are due on WEDNESDAY ( many kids finished in the time given in class).  Our story this week is "Yang the Third and her Impossible Family."  The vocabulary is listed on the Vocabulary Power pages, located right before the story.

Word Sort Sentences are due THURSDAY (see NEW rubric)

Word Work is due on FRIDAY (4 activities - one must be a written activity).  Prepare for test, spelling city is open with the word lists.

Science - we have a parts quiz on Thursday and spelling COUNTS!  The test over the system will be next week on TUESDAY or WEDNESDAY.  We will work on the comic strip in class this week and that is due on Friday so use any and all time wisely on this assignment.  ALSO COMPLETE THE  EDMODO ASSIGNMENT!! 

Math:
5G:  Box plots worksheet ( do all on both sides, but you can choose either 5 OR 6 on the back)
ALSO - Boxes due on FRIDAY  (you should have a post it with the pages and numbers...I am not putting them here...work on being responsible!)

5K - subtraction sheet

5R - Study link 2.5 using the activity slip from your journal.
