Standards of focus: Math: 5.G.4; Science 5-LS1-1
Last Week's MobyMax Math High Scorers!: Kayla (135) and Emma (87)
Our "Road to the Revolution" projects are done and they're AMAZING!!! Take a look!
On Monday in Math, we began our last of the Geometry standards, 5.G.4. We began by taking our pre-test, recording our I Can statements, and graphing our data. From here, we talked about how hierarchies are like family trees and that if a shape is grouped below another, it also has to have the attributes of the shape above it.
In Science, we began our Life Science unit by discussing our first standard, which discusses photosynthesis. After taking guided notes over a Plant PowerPoint presentation, we began working on models to help us create our "arguments" about the needs of plants in the photosynthesis process.
In Social Studies, we began Chapter 11, which discusses whether the colonies should declare independence or not. We discussed the differences in the beliefs of Patriots, Loyalists, and Neutralists, and talked about the arguments 3 prominent Loyalists had for remaining loyal to King George.
On Tuesday in Math, we took our post-test over standard 5.G.4 and did our usual graphing and data analysis.
In Science, we created a 3-d model of photosynthesis and discussed how oxygen is a waste product of photosynthesis and is released by the stomata in the leaves.
In Social studies we continued talking about the views of Loyalists and Patriots. Specific Patriots we discussed were Benjamin Franklin, Mercy Otis Warren, and Samuel Adams.
On Wednesday, we began the day with the 5th grade spelling bee! After 8 rounds, our winners were:
