5th Grade Math: Packet
4th Grade Math: Skills Packet for week of 11/18 (due Friday). An option for students working on the order of operations was provided in place of the packet. Students may work at their own pace. We will check the packet on Friday in class. In math today the students were introduced to problem solving activities to do in small groups. These problems encourage "out of the box" thinking and there can often be more than one solution to a problem. An example of one problem we tackled today is linked here.
2. Wordly Wise: This week's goal for most students is to finish lesson 2 (or set a goal for how far to get in lesson 3). Spend at least 15 minutes/night. Carry the book in your binder each day to and from school.
3. Reading (20 min. every night)– Students may read from their assigned Book Group books.

Today in Strawberry: Today we focused on the major zones of the ocean. After a book about the depths of the ocean and brief Blue Planet segment, the students were organized into groups to study a particular zone in more depth, either the sunlight, twilight, dark zone, the abyss or the deep trenches.
Reviewing the proportion of the zones of the ocean.
After researching the zone the students designed a poster section for their "zone."
Organisms were drawn and cut out to be glued onto the poster.
