This morning began with ticket drawing and an impromptu discussion about how ugly produce is sadly thrown away...  Think of all the food we are wasting just because it is not asthetically pleasing!  Thankfully some people are doing something about it.  http://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2016/03/global-food-waste-statistics/

In Social Studies we wrapped up Chapter 3 of My Brother Sam is Dead.  Sam came back after 4 months of fighting... We can't wait to see what he has to tell Tim.

Math's focus was on irregular rectangular prisms and how to find their volume... The toughest part of volume.

We took our final Greek and Latin root quiz of the marking period, and then continued to work on "How Tos."

In reading, we worked as an entire fifth grade to compare and contrast across different texts.  This was a fun lesson with Mrs. Smith.

ENJOY THE BREAK!  SEE YOU TUESDAY!  THE BATTLE TOWARDS PSSA BEGINS THEN!  WE SHALL CONQUER!
