4.MD.C.6:  Measure angles in whole-number degrees using a protractor.  Sketch angles of specified measure.

5.G.3: Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that categories. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.

Science Weekly Objectives:

5-PS2-1.

Support an argument that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed down.

5-ESS1-1.        Support an argument that differences in the apparent brightness of the sun compared to other stars is due to their relative distances from Earth.

If they start reading for 20 minutes per night in Kindergarten, by the end of 6th grade, Student A will have read for the equivalent of 60 school days, Student B will have read for 12 school days, and Student C will have read for 3. (Nagy and Herman, 1987.)

Want to be a better reader? Simply, read!

Why read for 20 min.?

  • All 5th graders in Ms. Mosed’s class will be expected to read at least 40 books this year during independent reading at home.
  • You will be reading 40 (or more) books this year (beginning 9/7/17) and keeping track of the titles and genres on your Reading List sheet.
  • You will be reading from a variety of genres in order to explore books you might not ordinarily read, and to develop an understanding of literary elements, text features, and text structures.
  • Books that have been read (or will be read) in class cannot count, even if the student re-reads the book.
  • Students may ask the teacher, librarian, classmates, or their families for recommendations, but there are no specific title requirements
  • Any book with more than 200 pages will count as 2 books.
  • All books are selected by the student.
  • Select good fit books at your reading level. Use your DRA book graph as your guide and NWEA reading RIT score.
  • Use your Reading notebook to respond to your reading.
  • Each quarter you will be asked to present a “book talk” in front of the class for a grade.
  • Each week I will ask you about what you are reading, which books you have added to your list, which books you abandoned, and which ones you plan to read next.
  • Every Friday, you will turn in a completed Reading List.
  1. You must read for 30 minutes independently outside of class. Read for 15 minutes and list the books read in your reading list. Reading/writing list is due on Friday. Also, read for 15 minutes on MyOn everyday. I will be checking your minutes weekly.
  2. Math-Do 30 minutes on Khan Academy using your new RIT score and practice on iLearn for the math-a-thon. Complete the 2nd page you started in class today.

Homework Tomorrow!

Dear Parents,
No school tomorrow!Writing:
Students have an opinion paper to finish at home. They may lookat this website to help with the writing:

https://wethepeople.scholastic.com/etc/designs/scholastic/classroom-magazines-migration/clientlibs/reader/index.html?id=800-000001

Their writing should include their opinion about “Should voting berequired by law?” They should be able to give three reasons whyand explain. Use the article to use facts for your explanation.

Spelling:
5th grade has sentences and tomorrow they should do ABC order.
4th grade has online assignments for today and tomorrow

Language:
Read for 20 minutes and summarize. GO on Myon for 10 minutes.
They should be writing the date and what they wrote about.

Math:
Both 4th and 5th took their pre-test. They should be going onMoby Max Math for at least 15 minutes. They should be studyingtheir Math Facts for 10 minutes.
