Class activities for Tuesday, May 20
Spelling: None today.
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences, seven or more words each, are due on Friday.
Reading: None today due to art.
Writing: We started our final writing project of the year, called Find It, Decide It. Students will work with a partner to research and make a decision. This piece is due Friday, May 30.
Math: We continued practicing fractions today. We used Khan Academy to practice three skills:
- Multiplying fractions by integers
- Multiplying fractions and whole numbers word problems
- Converting decimals to fractions 1
Homework is to work on MobyMax Math or Khan Academy for 15 minutes or more, and to level up on the skills listed above if not done in class.
Science: We reviewed special adaptations that animals have that help them survive in the wild. We also learned that organisms of the same kind can have similar adaptations, but also have variations that make them different.
Social Studies: We looked at special purpose maps of the US about elevation, precipitation, population, and temperature.
