Here is the much anticipated Social Studies Study Guide...
The test is on Thursday.
Here is the link to the today's division quiz and the notes that went along with the quiz.
Just because I was reminded of this today during math time since we are trying more effective but new & challenging division. When your son/daughter, heck even us adults, are "true scholars" there should be frustration, new concepts should make them feel uncomfortable, they should be making mistakes —- these are the steps to learning a new skill or learning something that matters. We all need to continue working on the idea that it is through our mistakes that we learn and grow as scholars and learners. If we were always "smart" and always "getting things on the first try" then we really aren't leaving our comfort-zone nor challenging ourselves. So this relates to our math frustrations today, in the words of Winston Churchill, "If you're going through heck, keep going." Our greatness is created, strengthened and molded just like our muscles and our bodies, we have to keep mindfully practicing, taking notes and we have to keep "trying."
Here is the link saying what I'm trying to say but much more effectively:
We had more great presentation today for our Theme 1 projects....
Austin and Rose amazed us with their volcano knowledge and powerpoint.
Nicki and Megan gave us a quick overview of their earthquake and earthquake preparedness research with a Prezi. They also have an amazing clay-mation movie coming once we work all the technical gremlins out of the system.Elvira was moved to learn more about Mount St. Helens. She was able to share that information and also inform us that the animals and plants have begun to make a great comeback in the once magma devastated region.
Finally Anna and Isa did an amazing job teaching about the theory of Pangaea. The scientific belief that all of the continents were once literally connected and over years due to various reasons they have separated into the continents that we know today. They also did a three piece clay representation of early earth, the pangaea earth and earth today.

Also all of the student grades for math, spelling and vocabulary are being hosted at www.Engrade.com
Here is my website:
Your user name and password will be your student's unique 5 digit i.d. that the district gives them. I have not input all of them yet, so email if you try to get on and you can't.
Have a great weekend,
Mr. Hubbard
