Fifth grade students will need the ability to print the LEARN book pages at home OR will need to pick up a book!!! The work in this module is nearly impossible to complete without a printed page. This is the only chance you will have to pick up a book. If you have an issue, please contact Mrs. Hickson or Ms. Tiba as soon as possible.
Dear Parents,
This week we will be offering a pick-up of some instructional material your child’s teacher has prepared. The prepared material will vary from class to class and your child’s teacher will let you know what you will need to pick up, if anything. To avoid large crowds and provide an opportunity for families with multiple children, the pick up will happen based on the first letter of your last name.
On Tuesday, May 5 from 1-3 pm, the pick-up will be for families whose last name starts with the letter A-M. And on Wednesday, May 6 from 1-3 pm, will be for families whose last name starts with N-Z. The materials will be set up on the South playground (where K-2 lineup).
The material will be placed on carts by grade level and teacher name. We ask that parents come alone with a mask, stand in line until they are asked to come forward and collect their children’s materials from the carts. We kindly request that you just grab the top book and do not shuffle through them and as always practice safe distancing. There will be cones and tape on the floor to also help guide the flow.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
Stay safe,
Ms. Tiba
Students, if you are turning in an assignment on Google classroom that was assigned 4/27 – 5/1 please email me that you have turned it in. (This DOES NOT apply to students who are up to date with assignments.) Google classroom doesn’t notify me when you hand it in. This is not necessary for current assignments that were made this week 5/4 – 5/8. I will not be accepting work from the week of 4/20 unless there is a health or technology issue that you contact me about.
Also, some assignments are created by me and some are created by Mrs. Stetz. You should be doing all of them. This is similar to what we did in school but you might not have been aware of it.
*********************Don’t forget that Mrs. Baloga, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Goeke, Mrs Ackerman, Mrs. Poisson, and Mr. Kwiecien have assignments on Google classroom for you to work on. Watch for Google meetings with these teachers!!************

Today we are working on Module 6 lesson 2 . Here is the link to the video:https://gm.greatminds.org/kotg-em/knowledge-for-grade-5-em-m6-l2?hsLang=en-us
Today we will do problem set numbers 1a, 2a-b, 3, 4 and homework numbers 1 a, 2, 3,4. I know you do not have your books yet. I am hoping the will be available at school Tuesday or Wednesday for someone to go and pick up for you. (More information a.s.a.p.) These pages are preferred to print or to go get with this unit for the gird paper needed, or it will be very difficult to complete. You can print right from the lesson until you get the book if you can. Under the lesson it says student materials. Click there and you can print the problem set. If yo no not have a printer, try it on paper looking at the problem set until you go get your module 6 journal. You can do the homework because you have that book.
Science
Today, continue to watch Mystery 3 and start the experiment. The pages for the activity are on the Google Classroom assignment labeled Mystery 3. You will need to print them out. If you don’t have a printer, watch the video and look through the pages. Students will fill 2 gallon sized Ziploc bags each with a piece of fruit, orange and banana are suggested but any will do, a piece of cheese and a piece of bread on a paper plate, changing 1 environmental condition in the second bag to study how different variables affect mold growth. You will want duct tape or other tape for an extra seal on the bag. Today, start the activity. Here is the link to the mystery: https://mysteryscience.com/ecosystems/mystery-3/decomposers-matter-cycle/95?code=MTI2MzM1NjE&t=student If you do not have access to these materials, don’ t worry. You can print or look at the pages and watch Doug do it. Stop at step 17. This activity will be monitored daily with the pages in the assignment for 12 days, taking 5 minutes each day to record your observations.

WILD ART
Be inspired by the screech owl’s colors, shapes and texture…fluffy feathers and all! Use whatever supplies you have available to re-create a screech owl at home! Do the feathers on its head look the same as on its wing? How does its beak compare to its feet? Try getting it just right, and then try making other silly versions of the screech owl out of your pure imagination. Looking for more to add to your creation? How about making it hunt for a mouse or snuggling up in a tree? What supplies do you have at home that could really show off its texture (cotton balls, leaves, tissue paper)?
We want to see your masterpieces, so please upload your artwork to Instagram or Twitter using #ZooHomeSafari, post it in the comments of our Facebook Live Video, or email it to homesafari@cincinnatizoo.org. We may share your amazing artwork on our Facebook/Instagram stories and our website.
