Literacy
Word tests were completed today. No words this week (short week). Most students have completed and revised their dialogue bell work. It's important that you understand all the rules for writing dialogue. There are so many, the only way you can learn them is by practicing.

Your goal this week is to finish your funny paragraph about your character using the literary devices we discussed in class: alliteration, onomatopoeia, simile, personification and hyperbole. You can work on it at home on your Google Drive....

Think about two short little situations you can write tomorrow describing 2 changes of state. We want to display them on the bulletin board. Can you think of situations involving sublimation or deposition? Some examples:

Math
Today we reviewed multi-digit multiplication. Most students prefer to use the standard algorithm. Use the strategy you are most comfortable with. Please use the practice questions posted on the blog yesterday to practice. Everyone completed the Action Task today, so we'll discuss the math behind the action task and then you'll get some time to complete your practice exercises.

Keep practicing your multiplication facts.... each day more students are answering 50 questions in 3 minutes. We even have students answering 100 in 5 minutes. AMAZING!

Grade 5 game (grade 4 you can play it as well)

Science
During Science we made some conclusions about our changes of state investigation. What happens to the particles/molecules in matter when they are heated? When heat is removed?

Watch the video clip below. Why are the molecules "popping" out of the glass with water as the temperature rises?
