Week 12 and Day 49....It was Monday before the big election day in California and throughout our country.
P.E. -- Volleyball was the big hit. Students came back telling all about their volleyball games.
Spelling pretest
CNN Students...
Final compare and contrast between President Obama and Mitt Romney. They also did a great job of encouraging the students to explore their website and find out all types of election information and statistics. It is called “Election Resources” and it is found on the Cnn Students homepage.
Seaman -- today we learned how the Corp finally made it to the Pacific Ocean. They read some of Clark’s journal entries and they are pretty humorous as he mocks the calling of Pacific Ocean “pacific.” The students are learning that winter time in the northern part of the United States can frequently be cold, dreary and wet.
Math
Prime factorization and Venn Diagrams to find GCF.
Here are our notes from today (12 pages!!)
Students must use the factoring trees on their homework this week.
Follow up to Caine’s Arcade.
This great video of a 9 year old with tons of time in the front of his dad’s store, tons of cardboard and duct tape. His completely homemade arcade has now made significantly over the $250,000 goal to help pay for Caine’s college.
Here is the original video, it is awesome.
Here is the video when Jack Black takes his kids to Caine’s Arcade.
Here is the 1 year anniversary of Caine’s Arcade and his creativity contest.
This is still in the early planning stages however the kids are thinking of making an arcade the last week of December before Winter Break for our buddies and for our fellow 5th graders.
Learning how to work on Engrade and then look at their hard earned grades. Some students were able to complete some of their still missing Brainpops. Three other students sent me emails to set up a day/time to retake a unit test(s) after they practiced on www.ixl.com to improve it.
Prepare for the week and begin working on the homework.
Kind regards,
Mr. Hubbard
