Monday,Day 53, 2011 2012


Monday!!

Day 53.

CNN Students
Greece is once again the word and topic of discussion.  Potentially new leadership in government, European assistance forthcoming and deep cuts in government spending.
They then discussed the US unemployment rate and why that is an important factor to observe and evaluate.  We then talked about the earthquakes in Oklahoma and the pros/cons for preparing for earthquakes when you live in non frequent earthquake areas.   The also showed how Muslims are in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, right now. They`ve made a pilgrimage there for their religious ritual called Hajj.  Then we watched and discussed the challenges of traveling to Mars since it would take a 5+ year commitment into outer-space.  

DEAR time, Heritage project, and complete district assessments.  

Katie’s Trunk -- We began reading the story.  As we read the story we discussed and wrote on the board examples of what we called the “rebels” and the “Tories”;  We also talked about how trunks were popular before we had closets made into our house.

Math:  More fraction work.
Here are our notes.
You can also access all of the Khan Academy movies having to do with fractions right here.  
Students completed the first 8 problems as a class however some students did not take great notes so they created additional homework for themselves.  

P.E.

Monday -- prioritize and prepare for the week.
We discussed prioritizing and do the most urgent things first.  We then wrote out what needs to be completed this week.  
Students were then given 20 minutes to work on homework of their choosing.

Kind regards,
