Corps of Discovery Monument, Jefferson City, MO by don j schulte @ oxherder arts |
The “Jaws A-Thon” is tomorrow!!!
We need a few more parent volunteers. It is a great way to watch the kids jog, encourage them and enjoy some of this delightful sunshine.
If you can help click here. 5th grade needs just a few more volunteers.
This is PFC’s big fund raiser for the year so we are asking that you harass family members and friends for at least $20 per student. Let them know it goes to a great cause, the kids are exercising in the glorious California sun and it is supporting future “heroes.”
We are asking kids to wear blue or anything spirit wear.
The “super” volunteers will be bringing the kids masks and some kind of sticker or something to distinguish them as Hubbard's Heroes.
Kids can maybe pull out an old bath towel or sheet and make a super hero cape? They can wear an excessively hot rubber mask and jog for 30 minutes. They can wear military camouflage, police or firemen outfits and look like our everyday heroes.
Today’s news:
Lewis and Clark -- we learned about the Corps of Discovery's meeting with the Lakota a.k.a. Teton Sioux
It was a big stand off where the Lakota wanted our boats, we didn’t want to give them up. Clark pulled out his sword and pointed it towards a Chief’s heart, Lewis had the cannon loaded up and ready to fire, and close to 100 Lakota warriors were ready to shoot their arrows. Ask your son/daughter how that all played out.
Seaman --- they read about the Lakota/Corp standoff through the perspective of a historical narrative.
What is a setting? How does one describe a setting? Compare and contrast the setting in Seaman with Dublin 2012.
The kids began working on a ven diagram and putting together a compare/contrast paragraph. It will be due on Wednesday.
Library visit.
Math
More division practice and notetaking.
We watched this movie in its entirety over 45 minutes, taking notes and discussing the various ways to divide.
If you or your child still thinks this is craziness, click here for further explanation regarding this method of division.
Not updated notes because the notes are from the movie above.
I did lower the homework to page 87 13-27 ODDS ONLY due on Friday
Students need to do fewer problems but use one of the “newer” methods that we have spent almost two hours practicing over the last two school days.
They then had science for the day with Mrs. Cargo
They then had a class discussion on the “You Owe Me” assignment. They discussed how they would have handled such a high peer pressure situation.
We then reviewed our grammar lesson for the week which focused on conjunctions.
Finally they ended the day rotating to Mrs. Cho’s class for more work on graphing.
Kind regards,
Ron
