Welcome back to virtual room 205! I hope you all had a wonderful spring break!
I have emailed a list of guidelines and expectations for online learning to you. Please read it over with an adult.
Please check through Google classroom to see what assignments you may be missing. Please complete assignments from before spring break if you have not done so already.
Students, if you are turning in an assignment on Google classroom that was assigned 3/16 – 4/3, 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, 4/13 – 4/17.
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. Goedke, and Mrs Ackerman have assignments on Google classroom for you to work on.
Now get up and get moving to wake up your brain and body!
Math Great Minds has added new videos to help with the content. The link is to their free site. I will be including both videos, if available, in case you want 2 perspectives or one helps you understand better. Here is the link to the new site https://gm.greatminds.org/en-us/knowledge-for-grade-5 You just need to pick the module and lesson we are on for that day. This video is a bit longer, but goes through the lesson like I would in class, completing the problem set with together with explanations, think time, and answers. There is a part 2 and 3 that are shorter which complete the fluency work, a short review of past work and the application problem, usually a review of the lesson the day before. I would recommend the new site for a more thorough math lesson experience.
Today we are working on Module 5 lesson 12. Here is the link to the new: https://gm.greatminds.org/en-us/knowledge-for-grade-5-em-m5l12
old video: https://embarc.online/mod/page/view.php?id=316
Today we will do problem set numbers 1 a,c,d,2,3 and homework numbers 1 a,c,d,2,4
Science
We will start our final unit today, Web of Life, Ecosystems and the Food Web. This unit on ecology helps students develop the idea that plants, animals, and fungi form a system of interdependent parts, with each part dependent on the other parts for its material nourishment. By the end of the unit, students will come to the conclusion that organic matter is cycling through the living world.
Here is the link for the Anchor Phenomenon. The anchoring phenomenon for this unit focuses on attempts to grow food in an enclosed ecosystem. Students generate observations and questions about the phenomenon and create an initial design solution to growing food inside a dome for two years. Students will need to save the pages they complete for the entirety of the unit in a safe place. We will visit these after each mystery. Today you are only doing the first part of the video, and the See Think Wonder sheet. https://mysteryscience.com/ecosystems/mystery-0/ecosystem-design-modeling/242?code=MTI2MzM1NjE&t=student

ELA:
This week we will work through the current issue of Scholastic News. Just like before we are going to the Scholastic News site and logging in with our google account. Here is the link:https://classroommagazines.scholastic.com/ You will click on the link, then elementary up near the top and then the 5/6 issue. It will take you to the current issue. If you sign in through Google classroom you will not need the class code. For today and tomorrow read the articles, Protecting Our Planet and Is It Ok to Swim With Manatees? Watch the videos as well. Complete the assignment on Google Classroom and hit turn in.
Spelling: Go to Spelling City today. We have been given free access to vocab and spelling activities (games too.) I can see your work and we can take practice and real tests now! I know you are excited!! 🙂 Look at our new words for week 25. I will only be putting 10. Each day log in using your google account and do an activity. Take at least 1 practice test this week and take the test Friday. I will check them once they are completed.
Social Studies: Today’s Liberty’s Kids focuses on several important events. One is the Colonial Army and their weaknesses, Washington’s famous speech convincing many of the soldiers to stay instead of go home when their enlistment time was done, the bringing of the cannons through the winter wilderness from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston, and the end of the siege of Boston by the British. We will take a couple of days to go over these events. There will be an assignment on Google classroom tomorrow. Please do not hand it in until you have viewed all the videos and read all the materials. You should probably take notes as you watch and read.
