First, I would like to give a quick shout out to B.H., who won the fifth grade competition at the math assembly today. I'll bet your new favorite number is 7, right? 7 was always my favorite number when I was a kid, although I don't know why.
Today really flew by, and most of the class was pretty awake and alert, considering all the game playing, tv watching, and idleness that likely (and expectedly) occurred over the holiday weekend! I hope you and your families all enjoyed your time together and I am sure I am not the only one that has an eye on another upcoming break in the distance. There is much work and learning to be done over the next four weeks, so get those brains ready!
While we will gently move through chapter 6 in social studies, including a quiz over our timeline flashcards on Monday of next week, this week we will dive back into science, beginning our study of cells (which will indeed include the use of the microscope). Figure out which of the dates you just don't know about automatically, and study those for 5-10 minutes nightly (or any time you have during the day).
We will have a new list of words tomorrow and I will assign the activities this week, giving the kids time on Wednesday to work on the activities in class. The word activities will be due on Friday and the test will be on Friday.
As I posted last week and mentioned in class today, the November genre activity is not due until Monday. THe extra time should be used to prepare for your presentation, which will be delivered to the entire class, not just a small group. You will be graded on your presentation, so practice it at home. Everyone's presentation should be at least 2 minutes, but no more than 5. This will count as a speech grade.
My math class has some decimal division and multiplication practice for homework and Mrs. Ryan's class has a test tomorrow.
For those who did not finish in class, the Sosa questions for chapter 4 (up to page 36) are due. We will get in our first game of "Baseball" this week on Friday! Also, the Gazette entry should be completed (again, most people finished with the time given in class) to be turned in tomorrow.
Until tomorrow....
