Today in Math we reviewed dividing with decimals (mixed review) and then took a mini quiz. I am pleased to announce that EVERYONE passed!
In ELA we spent quality time finishing up menus and persuasive essays.
In Social Studies we spent a lot of time going over the Declaration of Independence and what it means.
I am busy grading and getting ready for report cards. We have CASE 21 testing the next three days. Please make sure your student gets a good night sleep and a healthy breakfast.

We continues working on Dividing decimals by whole numbers today. We will do a mixed review of division on Monday. I will give them a MINI assessment of NBT7 on Monday. They are ready.
This is not the 6 question quiz, but similar.
If three friends go out to dinner, and each buy the same meal with total cost of $4.53. How much did each person spend? $1.51
A race is 3.3 miles long with water breaks at every 1.1 miles. How many water breaks will be taken? 3
A 6 meter ribbon will be cut into .25 meter lengths. How many lengths will there be? 24
Today we had our Forced to change field trip....ask about the water mess and the bike wheel.
We also finished covering the main topics of the revolutionary war unit.

Sorry I haven't sent home Wednesday folders...yesterday I just plain forgot, and today the bell caught me off guard. I was still teaching! Some of the kids grabbed his/her folder, but others did not.
Today we reviewed dividing by a decimal, and started dividing decimals by whole numbers. The new step is remembering the place value of the grouping. EX: .27/ 9= .03
In ela I checked in with everyone on menus. I think we are doing a good job on time.
In social studies we answered questions pertaining to the causes of the Revolution.
Tomorrows crazy schedule:
9:30-10:20 - math like normal
10:10-11:10 - specials like normal (last time in Spanish before presentations)
11:10-11:45 - ELA
11:45-1:00 - Field trip
1:00-1:20 - Read aloud
1:20 - 1:50 - reward lunch for track out packets
1:55-2:30 -Recess
2:30-3:00- Social studies
3:00-3:40 - Book buddies

Today we started Decimals divided by decimals! They did great again!
We reviewed the track out packets and 17 kids get to come on Friday during lunch to my reward gathering!
In ELA we went over the structure for the Persuasive essays and lots of Figurative Language. Students can show you the progress on his/her essay by logging into his/her wcpss google account.
In Social studies we reviewed Patrick Henry's "give me liberty or give me death" speech and talked about the "shot herd round the world" at the first Battles of Lexington and Concord.

Welcome back!
Math:
Monday we learned to divide a whole number by a decimal using base 10 grids and today we used number lines. Even though it is not part of the 5th grade curriculum, I've been showing the standard algorithm too.
Today we did a quick check to see how they were doing. Most did great. I have about 6 who made a "2", but we will review on Wednesday and re-assess those kids.
Tomorrow we will start decimals divided by decimals.
ELA:
Our reading menu for these two weeks is based on the revolutionary war. I am using our Social Studies texts for analysis during reading. We are also working on our introductory paragraphs of our Persuasive essays. I hope to have the whole essay done by Monday.
Social Studies:
We are in the Revolutionary War. We have watched "Liberty's Kids" episodes one and two. We have talked about the different acts leading up to the Boston Tea party and the British response of the "intolerable" acts.
We will continue to use Liberty's Kids, but not all 39 episodes.
Coding:
Today we had a special event called coding. The kids got to "build" code for a game. hourofcode.com
