Thursday October 9, 2014

Zack kicked off our morning meeting with his story about martial arts competition at a young age.

Social studies was all about longitude, latitude and hemispheres today.  Tomorrow is the continents, oceans and hemispheres assessment so make sure you review one final time this evening!



Some longitude and latitude games:

In math, we expanded yesterday's extremely difficult lesson and put the focus on just writing expressions without the variables.  A great homework help video is right here (sorry no Youtube embedding for this one): https://learnzillion.com/lessons/3165-write-a-numerical-expression-to-represent-a-verbal-description-of-a-calculation#quickcode-modal

In writing we began publishing our final personal narratives, and in reading we wrapped up our LDC expectations lesson.  Superb job!  Now you all have a wonderful example of what fifth grade text evidence essay responses look like.
