Measuring Monday

Today we....

•  measured to the nearest whole, 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 inch.  We measured forearms.  We measured arm spans.  We measured legs.
• We read The Grand Canyon...A Trail Through Time.  We compared narrative non-fiction to expository fiction.  We will be travelling through the Canyon all week.  I have linked some material on Edmodo for students to explore at home.
• We finished up another Educreations presentation.  Some of the questions we explored are...What do liberty and freedom have to do with the Declaration of Independence?  What are inalienable rights?  Why do we use the expression: "sign your John Hancock?"
• We also read a few more chapters in Winn Dixie.  If your library books are due, you may return them.  I will continue to read aloud the chapters that we haven't had a chance to discuss.

Tonight at home:

• Work on the math sheet: Changing Linear Units
• I have deleted the Canyons assignment due to Maps testing tomorrow.
• Marble Maze: June 7th
• Field Trip: Wednesday 5/22. Please bring a bag lunch.
• Bring a water bottle tomorrow.
• Dress in layers.  The temperature in the pod is varying drastically  between jungle and arctic- like conditions.

Math Maps testing is tomorrow!  Get that homework done early and get a good night's sleep.

Coming Soon....

• Science and Design Fair: June 7
