Ms. Szalai's 5th Grade

Soooo Justin came home from work saw this book on my desk and said, “Hey! I remember that book!”. And then…he started reading. He has a message for you and it goes like this – “Tell your students that they better be reading! It makes you smart!” I wonder where he heard that?!? Oh yeah – he heard it from all his teachers! Let’s make this fun – send me a picture of you reading somewhere interesting in your house and if you say it’s ok I’ll post it sometime in the next couple weeks.

READING:

Go find a fun quiet place to read. Grab whatever book you are reading and read for a half hour. When your done remember to go to GoogleClassroom and type your favorite part of today’s reading and some supporting details. Remember this is your reading journal – YOU NEED TO DO THIS …PLEASE.

Readtheory – make sure you need to earn 100 knowledge points by the end of Friday. Set the calendar dates 3/16 -3/20 to check. I have to keep track of who is doing their work so please do it…take your time, get some help if you are having a hard time but please do it…I know you want a really smart and big brain!

MATH: I should have Justin do this math…I wonder if he remembers how to do this?

SCIENCE:

Finish all the articles in the set, The Atmosphere, and complete the “book of knowledge”. I noticed some of you already finished it- I am so impressed. I will put a star next to your names to make sure you get acknowledged for going above and beyond!!

Go to the links on the side on my blog and look under “science – earth’s systems” watch and learn the song and chant that is in the first link called “Earth Systems song/chant”. And yes, you have to go around your house singing that song!

OK – HERE IT IS MY DAILY ADVICE. AND I HEARD THIS IS TRUE (WELL – I THINK IT IS TRUE – YEP IT’S TRUE). ARE YOU READY FOR IT…WATCHING TOO MUCH TV OR PLAYING VIDEO GAMES FOR TOO LONG WILL MAKE YOUR EYES OOZE GREEN GOOEEY SLIME AND YOUR TOES WILL TURN PURPLE AND TURQUOISE AND REALLY START TO SMELL REALLY REALLY BAD. TO AVOID THIS STAND UP …WALK AWAY FOR THE TV AND CONTROLLER…FIND A BOARD GAME, SOME PAPER AND MARKERS, CLEAN YOUR CLOSET, DANCE AROUND TO FUN MUSIC, PLAY WITH REAL LIVE TOYS LIKE LEGOS OR CARDS — QUICK SAVE YOUR EYES AND TOES AND FIND SOMETHING TO DO!! YOU’LL THANK ME LATER.
