Standards of focus: Math: 5.G.3; Science 5-PS3-1
Last Week's MobyMax Math High Scorers!: Kayla (142) and Elzy (81)
On Monday in Math, we continued working with attributes, or characteristics, of shapes. We discussed how shapes can actually fall into more than one category, based upon its properties.
We are also getting into the groove of our new Math rotations and teams. On Monday, we worked with Mrs. Elliott in small groups where we reviewed and then played a review board game to get us ready for our 5.G.3 post-test. We also worked on the KindleFires and classroom computers to complete our assigned MobyMax lessons (this week we are responsible for the Exponents lesson; a review), and at the Skill Work station, we played a Classifying Geometric Shapes board game with small groups within our teams. We are also becoming pros out making sure we follow our team's "CAN Do" and "MUST Do" activities, we are all a little different, based on our team's needs.
In Science, we discussed the last Physical Science standard, 5-PS3-1. This standard had us talking about the 4 purposes of animals' food, which are to maintain body warmth, growth, movement, and body repair. We also discussed that all of the energy our food give us for these 4 purposes comes from "the big yellow guy in the sky", the SUN!
In Social Studies, we continued working on our American Revolution projects. They are coming along quite nicely and Mrs. Elliott CANNOT wait to see and display the final products!

One activity that we ALL complete in our rotations is the MobyMath/Choice Activity station. Mrs. Elliott assigns various lessons that either go along with our current learning or are review skills, that we have to complete by the end of the week for a grade. After we complete those assignments, each Team has different "Choice Activities" that they may complete.
Here, members of Team 3 have chosen to play a Math board game, "Head full of Numbers" as one of their Choice Activities.
