Tuesday
Non technology lab Tuesday, however we all survived and grew from the change :)
DEAR time -- students were strongly strongly encouraged to study for tomorrow’s math test, work on Famous American notes, read Yang & Secrete Admirer or read whatever they choose.
Writing:
We spent a great deal of time kicking off our Short Story Contest.
As I have done the past 7 years, we will be participating in the Alameda and Contra Costa County 5th grade short story contest.
In the past students from my class have earned a 1st place and 2nd place cash reward.
Here are the details on the competition:

Here is a great graphic organizer that we will be using to help us plan out our story:

Here is a great website with helpful kind-friendly advice:

Here is a great “rap” that helps remind your son/daughter what goes into a well written short story:http://www.flocabulary.com/fivethings.html
DPIE -- we did some more work for our DPIE art-project. We made human D’, U’s, B’s, L’s, I’s, and N’s and photographed it.
We did more discussion of the graphic organizer since it also happens to piggyback on this week’s reading strategy.
First due date on the short-story: ½ of it must be written by Friday, February 18th
Then a rough draft version will be due on Friday, February 25th.
Math:
We had a long talk about some issues that were related to tomorrow test and prior test scores.
Talking points:
There is a big difference between “studying” for a test versus simply just doing all your homework
I pointed out some common mistakes that students have been making that SHOULD NOT happen if they dedicated time memorizing or keeping their notebook up to date.
Note taking, if they don’t understand what is going on, still write what you see, you can reference them later plus the act of writing and following puts it into your brain for recall later.
Finally we talked about resources for help studying:
www.pearsonsuccessnet.com -- all the lesson videos and practice problems are accessible
Retake the chapter 6 test or retest on www.pearsonsuccessnet.com
Use the http://www.khanacademy.org/ for more video math lessons.
Go on google video and type in “multiplying decimals” there are many great lessons/resources.

Packed up for the day and then they had P.E.
Have a glorious evening,
