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.************
Happy Thursday! We are almost done with our 7th week of remote learning! You are all doing a fabulous job! Let’s start our day with a little roller coaster ride!! Whoa!!!!!!

Today we are working on Module 6 lesson 4 . Here is the link to the video:https://gm.greatminds.org/kotg-em/knowledge-for-grade-5-em-m6-l4?hsLang=en-us
Today the problem set is a game. You will need an opponent and they may want to watch the video with you to see how to play the game. It is coordinate plane Battleship. You should pick someone at least 3rd grade or above to play so they understand the concepts. The homework is another game and 3 questions. Play this with another openet if you have one, or have a rematch with your first opponent. Then answer the questions. If you don’t have time today, do tomorrow or over the weekend. If you are able, and your parents say it is okay, you can play on the computer or Facetime with a classmate that has the materials as well.
Science
Today you will take the Mystery 3 quiz in Google Classroom. Please complete this by Friday at 2 p.m. if at all possible. Don’t forget to check your experiment today and write down your observations on your data activity sheet!
ELA: You have a new fiction selection on Readworks called “What’s for Breakfast?” If you have not finished “Ice Harvest” or “Walk the Plank” from Tuesday and Wednesday you can finish those as well. 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.
