Thursday's Thoughts...

Math:
We continued our geometric explorations with constructing shapes from nets in class. A review of conversions should be completed by tomorrow. Set up the proportion ( the basic conversion rate, eg 1 kilogram = 1000 grams as a fraction, then use the big one to solve this)

Get RCC pages 217 (only numbers 15  and 16) 219-221 done by tomorrow. We'll review these in class.

Don't forget, Unit 4 Test = next Tuesday.

ELA:
Today was "write like a dog" day. The students tackled challenging in-class writing about three separate articles.

Be ready for spellcabulary tomorrow. Words are in reading book on pages 492 & 518.

Science:
We reviewed the worksheet completed yesterday. Additionally, students performed air pressure dances to demonstrate their understanding of the relationship between air pressure and volume, temperature, density, and altitude.

History:
Continue your work on the projects due: Fact Sheet = 4/24, Poster = 4/29, Float = 5/9.

Other:
Please support the Fifth Grade Committee's dine out night next Thursday at California Pizza Kitchen...Pizza with a Purpose! Yay!!!
