This is a family event.
Homework Section
- 4th Grade Math: Long Division pages (students chose 1 of the 4 to take home). Long Division help page.
- 5th Grade Math: packet
- Oregon Trail Journal Assignment: Finish your Journal Entry: Mile 319, May 7, 1845. Write a letter to a friend or family member back home. Include highlights from the trip so far. Draw a sketch of one of your favorite moments.
- Wordly Wise: This week, students have set goals in Wordly Wise, and should spend some time each night working toward that goal (however, priority tonight goes to the journal). They will also have more time in class, and should bring the book to school each day.
- Reading: Bound for Oregon A number of students need to finish reading chapters 9 and 10. In class today we started chapter 10 as a class. Just like on the trail, stragglers need to catch up! Use your 20 minutes reading time to do so.
Today on the Oregon Trail: Each student began an expenditure ledger to keep track of losses and gains, while tracking their groups' balance. Teams had an opportunity to restock their wagons, of which few groups took advantage. We will see how it goes on the trail.
