Thursday's Wednesday folders.

I forgot to send home Wednesday Folders yesterday, so they are coming home today.  There are two math assessments and MClass testing results in the folder.  If you child made a 1 or 2, please review the information and correct the test.  Sign it, and return it tomorrow.  If they made a 3 or 4, keep it at home.
On the MClass results, the top number is the number your student scored, the bottom number is where they should be at the beginning of 5th grade.
Please return the blue folder, emptied, tomorrow.
DON'T FORGET TO TURN IN HOMEWORK FRIDAY!!!!!!!! Both the math page and the article (what in the world).

Today in math we took a day to review division and the Area model.  Regular long division is NOT a part of 5th grade, but I am encouraging those who know it, to use it.  The Area model is long division but it does it via place value.
In reading we are almost done with our internet projects.  I hope to start presenting Friday.  We did a mini lesson for writing, and character development.  We started drafting memoirs!  So exciting!
In science we focused on Food Web's and Food chains - the decomposers, producers and consumers in both, and what happens if the chain is disrupted.   We had a great discussion on renewable energies and saving the ozone layer (it was a complete tangent, but it was great!)
