Thankful Thursday!

Morning Powwow

I hope everyone enjoyed Wellness Wednesday. 

Next week, Louden is going to lead us in a yoga class.

Reading - Newsela.  Do a close read on the article How Geography Shapes the Weather. 

Since you can’t annotate, take notes after reading it once to get a general idea. Also, look up words that you don’t know. Then take the quiz. 

Newsela is due TODAY and will count as a QUIZ grade, so the score you end with will be your grade. Please make sure you reread the article at least twice before taking the quiz. You can even go in Hangouts and read it with your friends. Take your time. 

Math - Subtracting fractions. Text book pages 402 & 403. Read p. 402 and watch the Doceri lesson that I have posted. You will complete 2 - 6, even only AND 7 -8. The answers will be posted on the blog later.

 Religion –Read pages 212 - 213 and complete the activity on page 213. You don’t have to design the collage, unless you want to. Just write down your ideas.  I’ll post the highlights.

Science – Lesson 2. Read pages 286-287.

Experiment with buoyancy. With a parent’s permission, fill a pan with water. Collect at least five objects – marbles, cork, Q-tip, coins, etc. and see which objects will float and which will sink. Objects with higher density than water will sink, but ones with lower density will float.

Take a piece of paper and make 2 columns. Label the first column, Sink and the second, Float. As you test the objects, categorize them in the correct column. You can do this in Hangouts with your classmates.

  

Grammar – Adjectives that Compare. Notes will be posted on the blog. Please read the notes. If you have any questions, email me or let’s Hangout.

 Handwriting –  Continue to work on your bible verse, which is due Friday.  

Spelling – test day. If you can meet me in Hangouts at 10am, we’ll take the test then. If not, ask a parent or sibling to read you the words. When you’re finished, please put the test in your Take Home folder.
