Thursday, May 5th

You should be very proud of your child today, they have really applied themselves this week.  The students have clearly been taking their time on the tests and also retaking the test once they finished.    

Tomorrow the medical forms are due to the office, they need to go directly into the office.  
Click here are the instructions for medicine:




HOMEWORK FOR THE WEEK:

State Testing Prep:
If your child wants to do some prepping here is the links for California’s released questions:
  • Here is another link that may be useful, just choose “sample questions” and the section/grade level.    CLICK HERE


Exercise  -- especially if your child tends to get nervous with testing have them burn off their increased adrenaline.

More sleep than usual -- well rested people perform better

Be full of water  

Great breakfast with complex carbohydrates and/or proteins.

Math Prep and Review

CLICK HERE for a great website for reviewing 5th grade skills and it even includes skill appropriate math games.  

Don’t forget that my favorite the Khan Academy has a great bunch of movie math reviews.

The M,M,M, and R rap due next Friday
Click here for math notes and the mmmr rap

For our ramp up on fractions, students need to bring in a recipe and be clear how many servings it makes.   This way we can be “chefs” and cut recipes in ½ or double/triple the recipe.
