Class activities for Friday, May 17
Spelling: We reviewed the their/they’re/there/theirs/there’s homophones.
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences, seven or more words each, are due Fridays.
Reading: We set up Epic accounts and read books today. Epic is a digital library of ebooks. You can purchase a subscription for the entire summer for $3. That will give your student more than enough to keep them reading before middle school starts!
Writing: Students worked on publishing their poems today. A collection of poems will be due Sunday, May 19. Homework on weekdays is to work on writing for 15 minutes.
Math: We worked on dividing fractions today. Homework on weekdays is to practice math for 15 minutes using MobyMax or Khan Academy.
Science: We used a simulation to model how an emulsifier, like lecithin, helps oil and water to mix together.
Social Studies: We read about the Articles of Confederation, our country’s first government.
Character Strength: We are learning about the #OtherPeopleMatter mindset.
