1. JANUARY 6

2. Good Morning! Unpack quickly and quietly Please have two sharpened pencils and make sure your materials are organized. Do you know where everything is located? Is it easily accessible? Return your books to the Media Center 5 th grade – you will need 20 connecting cubes, place them in a bag. In your Morning Work notebook, explain this piece of figurative language Don’t bite off more than you can chew.

3. Social Studies – 5 th grade Remember those interviews we conducted before the break…today, we’ll start the second part of the task Get with your partners and conduct the interview again using the same questions. This time you will answer the questions as if you are the same explore, but during modern time.

4. A New Routine! (Math – 5 th ) Quick Images: 3 – D I’m going to display an image of a cube building for 3 seconds. Look at it carefully. When the image is covered, try to see the cube building in your mind. Then use your cubes to make the building that you saw. READY?!?!?

5. Pump Up the Volume! (Math – 5 th ) http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/math/measurement/volume. htm http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/math/measurement/volume. htm Your task for the day: Let’s pretend you work at a packaging factory. Your company makes cardboard boxes of different shapes and sizes for packing and shipping products. One product you package is little toy figures. Each toy figure is the same size and is packaged in a little cube. You usually need to ship more than one toy at time, so you pack the cubes in larger shipping boxes. Over the next few days, we’re going to work on determining how many cubes will fit in a shipping box and decide how we can figure this out without actually counting each cube.

6. You will need… Scissors, tape and grid paper SAB pages 1 – 2 Unit 2 For each problem, you’ll try to figure out the number of cubes each box will hold without building it. Then, use grid paper to make the box, and the count with cubes. Before you go on to the next problem, look at your first answer and the actual count. Think about why your first answer was or wasn’t close.

7. Reading and Writing Today I want to teach you to gather multiple perspectives and opinions about a topic by recording notes from various sources. Remember, we cite our sources as we record notes. Nonfiction readers move across texts cumulatively adding to their understanding of a topic. Researchers don’t just record what one book says in their notes, they… take their pens and record what on book says VERSUS another book jot the name of the text, author and date of publication, and then record the angle that one book presents on a topic versus another use a graphic organizer to create notes that record comparative angles presented in two texts

8. Today you will… Create a research plan, if necessary, to gather more information from multiple sides of the topic. Record notes presenting the different angles while correctly recording the name of the text, author and date of publication Interject your opinions on each side within your notes using prompts….In my opinion I agree or disagree because…

9. Angles, Lines and Shapes, Oh My! (Math – 4 th ) Let’s review three types of angles, three types of triangles and quadrilaterals. We’ll use Learn Zillion! These are code we can type in and the videos will populate. LZ3040 LZ3069 LZ2936 LZ2937

10. Today you’ll play Guess My Rule In your pairs or groups of 3, one student will think of a rule to sort the quadrilaterals by. The person who came up with the rule puts two quadrilaterals out that meet the rule, and one quadrilateral in a separate pile that does not meet the rule. Other students then place quadrilaterals either in the pile that meets the rule or the pile that doesn’t meet the rule. The student who came up with the rule can tell them whether each shape is correctly placed, but should not give any more details. At any point, students can guess the rule. This activity gets repeated with students taking turns thinking of the rule.
