We have a huge school of fish outside our classroom door for grade 5 and another school of fish hanging on the 6th grade door showing all of our lenten good deeds. We have another few weeks of Lent, so continue doing your good deeds daily. (We won't stop just because Easter comes later this month.)
Grade 5 learned about dividing fractions, and we used manipulatives to practice. Then we learned that we can "flip and multiply" to get the answer. We practiced on IXL.
Our 5/6 Learning Community just finished our read aloud,"A Long Way from Chicago" today. We had groups work on a story map showing the various story elements including characters, setting, conflict, plot, climax and resolution. It was impressive seeing the groups interact and work so well together!
It was a great day!

Today we started hieroglyphic cartouches in art. We are writing our names in hieroglyphs. In social studies the 6th graders learned about the Roman government and the 5th graders learned about Greek gods and goddesses. In science the 5th graders are drawing a diagram of the digestive system.
Have a nice 4 day weekend.

Today in grammar we are learning about regular and irregular verbs.The 5th graders are learning about how to change improper fractions into mixed numbers. We will be using the IXL for both our English and math practice today. Please be sure to find some time to get on the computer today for this important practice. It sure is nice not to have to carry all those books home, though, isn't it?
