A super quick update regarding today’s events.
69% of the students remembered to bring in their reading a thon log today and have you sign it off last night. We hope to improve that percentage tomorrow morning. Again just for the time of the read a thon, students should be asking you EVERY SINGLE NIGHT to sign their read a thon form and they should be bringing it back to class.
Today in class they read 45 minutes therefore you will add the mandatory 35 minutes that they should read this evening with the 45 minutes they already read.
Lewis and Clark -- we started taking notes and discussing Lewis & Clark w/ the Corp of Discovery. We will be doing our language arts writing and practiced while reading the book titled Seaman. Click here to find out more.
Science -- more outer space and galaxy work.
Math -- we worked on prime factoring. This is something that we worked on prior to our Outdoor Education week and the winter break. Therefore it was a review of composite numbers and prime numbers.
After lunch students practiced typing for 15 minutes, mastered “reciprocals” with IXL, and did 15 minutes of Scootpad.
Field trip on Thursday, January 30th. We are going to the Chabot Space and Science in the Oakland hills. We could use drivers. Can you please complete this survey (should take less than 30 seconds) if you can help with the driving and chaperoning.
Kind regards,
Mr. Hubbard

Homework for the week:
ReadaThon:
Every night read for 35 minutes at home.
Remember to include time read in class for your daily total.
Total time on the spreadsheet = in class reading + out of class reading
Monday we read 30 minutes in class + 35 assigned minutes at home = minimum of 65 minutes signed off.
Every day you will bring in your sheet signed off by your parent verifying what you have read.
Reading for science counts towards their nightly goal of reading. Reading and working on the trimester’s book project counts towards the nightly reading. Reading the weekly non-fiction handout and answering the questions also counts towards their nightly reading. Working on Scootpad will also count towards their nightly reading total.
Read and answer with complete sentences and thoughts: (due Thursday)
Spelling Test #12 is on Friday.
Science:
Read pages 162-163 complete the questions within the book due on Wednesday.
