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 will do problem set numbers 1, 2a-g, i-j, and homework numbers 1, 2a-k. If you do not have your books yet and you are going to pick it up today, wait and do this after you pick it up. These pages are preferred to print or to go get with this unit for the grid 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.

ELA: You will have a Readworks assignment for science called Ice Harvest.. For ELA you should be sure you are done with yesterday’s Readworks selection, “Walk the Plank,” and then do some work on Raz Kids. Choose a fiction book on Raz Kids. Read it and take the quiz. IF for some reason it will not let you take the quiz, you read the book too fast. Read the whole thing or listen again. Then take the quiz. I will see your results on my screen. Write a reflection using the journal tab after you have read the book. You choose the type of reflection such as your favorite character and why, identify the climax of the story, identify the theme, how did the character change throughout the story.

*****************JUST FOR FUN******************
Join the Cincinnati Zoo for a Home Safari Facebook Live each day at 3pm EDT where they will highlight one of their amazing animals!!!!
Now it’s time for a daily art lesson from author/illustrator Jarrett J. Krosoczka—author of Punk Farm, Lunch Lady, and Jedi Academy.
Do you know what kinds of animals live in Australia? They’re pretty different from the animals in the rest of the world. Kangaroos, Koalas, Wallabies, Wombats, Quokkas, Tasmanian Devils…these are MARSUPIALS. That’s a special kind of mammal that is born very small and underdeveloped. They crawl into their mother’s pouch and finish growing to full size there! Then there are even odder mammals called monotremes. These mammals actually LAY EGGS. There are two kinds of monotremes that live in Australia: the duck-billed platypus, and the echidna (also known as the spiny anteater). Finally, there are some very large flightless birds in Australia: the emu and the cassowary. They’re HUGE! In this video, you’ll learn more about each of these interesting animals like what they eat and how they have families.
Now let’s hear another just for fun read aloud from Australia!
