Virtual Field Trip to the Seattle Aquarium

I wish we could be together to go on a field trip, but this is the next best thing.

Monday, April 6

Happy Monday, my scholars!

Pray the Our Father before you begin your day.

Morning Powwow

Yesterday was Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week.
How will you and your family spend this week as you prepare for Triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday)?

We will have two tests this week: Science and Spelling

Reading - Go on Epic (or another source or book) and choose a short story to read. Email me a one paragraph summary (6 to 8 sentences) about the story (think about what happens in the beginning, middle, and end). Include information about the main character and the setting.


Math - Some of you still have not completed your IXL assignments from last week and/or the SeeSaw activity from Friday. Please use today to get caught up. If you have finished all of your assignments, thank you!

If you’ve finished your work, practice your math skills in Splash Math or Prodigy for about 20 minutes. If you’re stilling learning your multiplication facts, use flash cards or Cave Run. 

Religion - 

Working with a classmate or small group, complete page 223, Unit 4 review. It’s open book. Do not tear the page out. 

Science - Study your science vocabulary words. We won’t have a unit test, but instead will have a test over the vocabulary words only. The test will be Wednesday. 

Grammar - Complete the grammar workbook page 86 —  I emailed it to you. You can print it or write the answers on notebook paper. Be sure to label the paper.

Handwriting - There will be no handwriting this week.

Spelling - Continue to study your words. We will have a test tomorrow (Tuesday). If a parents wants to give you a pre-test and you get a 100%, you don’t have to take the test tomorrow. 

Friday, April 3

It’s Friday!

Pray the Our Father before you begin your day.

Morning Powwow

I’m sorry I haven’t been with you the past few days, but I’m so glad Mrs. Odum is there to help you. 

Thank you for your emails and prayers. Hopefully I’ll be back with you by Tuesday. 

Reading - I noticed that some of you have not finished the close read. Please do so today, since this is a reading grade.  Do a close read on the Newsela article Phases of the Moon. Then take the quiz.

If you’ve finished, please have 20 minutes of quiet reading time. After you finish reading, write the main idea and and least two supporting details. Use text evidence. 

Math - We will be starting Order of Operations soon. Please watch this Khan Academy introductory video. We’ve talked about Order of Operations during morning Four Square, so hopefully this video will help remind you.

Hint: Multiply and divide BEFORE addition and subtraction.

Next, in SeeSaw, complete the Interactive Multiplication and Division activity. 

Religion - 

Sunday is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. Watch the video from Catholic Kids Media about Palm Sunday and the Passion. Share with someone in your family (or a classmate in Hangouts) how you feel during this most Holy Week in our Catholic faith. 

Science - In your science packet, complete the handout Cause and Effect: How Ice Cream Melts? 

Grammar - Complete the grammar workbook page 85 —  I emailed it to you. You can print it or write the answers on notebook paper. Be sure to label the paper. 

Handwriting - Your handwriting is due today.

Spelling - Continue to study your words.
