Thursday, Day 125, Week 27

Super quick one, I have been locked up all afternoon getting all of the short stories ready for submission since they had to be mailed off today.     

Today in a lightening quick nutshell:
Technology time -- we spent it working through the Window’s Skydrive and share features.   Then we created our cover pages.   Finally we ended the technology day working on 5th grade review subjects.  Expect fractions and decimal reviews over the next few weeks.

Library time

Buddies -- Visit w/ our kindergarten friends.   They did some mathematics using Lucky Charms, checked out their buddy’s leprechaun trap and they read together.  

CNN Students -- the big news today was their in-depth look into the gaming industry.  It sells more entertainment than the music or movie businesses.   They also talked about working in the industry as a creator of games.  

Cargo rotation -- Page 314 a,b,c,d, and e all due Tuesday

Grammar review -- another night of adverbs

math -- fraction review and my personal plea for them to choose to retake math tests.  Students make work on any chapter (review the lessons in the book, Kahn academy, old notes on line or www.ixl.com) and then schedule a day after school to retake a test.  The new result will replace the old one (unless they somehow did worse).  So they have everything to gain by retaking a test -- more increased math knowledge and improved math grade.  

Spelling and Vocab test for the week -- big theme review
