Reminder: \u00a0Thanks to yesterday’s ice we do have school this Saturday, the 20th. \u00a0school will start at the normal time, and run until 12:00. \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today was SO BUSY. \u00a0We were rushing rushing rushing all day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We started our day talking about the weather, and clouds. \u00a0We ended up talking about how molecules are constantly moving between states (solid, liquid, gas, etc).<\/p>\n

We also talked about Fahrenheit, and Celsius. \u00a0It is sometimes hard for students to understand that 32 degrees Fahrenheit is EQUAL to 0 degrees Celsius. \u00a0These both measure the same amount of heat. \u00a00 degrees Celsius is NOT colder than 32 degrees Fahrenheit. \u00a0They are just different scales of measure!<\/p>\n

Tonight students have a short passage about clouds to re-read. \u00a0Then there are some questions to answer. \u00a0Before you ask, yes I expect reasoning!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Language Arts students got a new vocabulary list. \u00a0I would like to try something new this time around – I am asking students to FIND a sentence using the first word on the list tonight. \u00a0 They should NOT write this sentence themselves. \u00a0We are going to try to make a collection of found sentences so we can use them to help us write our own sentences later on. \u00a0Places they might find a sentence using the word (abrupt):<\/p>\n

By asking their parents<\/p>\n

Looking in the dictionary<\/p>\n

Looking in another book<\/p>\n

On the internet<\/p>\n

Again, this is not cheating. \u00a0Students should find a sentence using the word, and NOT come up with one on their own.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Math today we talked about division, and played a game I like to call ‘banker and boss’. \u00a0Students are split into pairs, and one player is the banker, and the other is the boss. \u00a0The banker keeps track of the money, and the boss is responsible for paying his\/her employees. \u00a0 The boss has to pay his employees equally with the money he\/she makes.<\/p>\n

We will use this exercise to help us understand the standard algorithm for long division later, so it is very important that students internalize the process for dividing numbers\u00a0in this way.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tonight students should do this problem WITH A PARENT OR OLDER SIBLING:<\/p>\n

divide $17 among 4 people<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The parent or older sibling should be the banker, and the student is the boss. \u00a0The banker gives them $17, and then makes change as they need it to divide the money equally. \u00a0The student takes the money and divides it equally into 4 groups.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

so, tl;dr<\/p>\n

Short packet on Clouds (WITH REASONING)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Find one sentence using the word abrupt (do NOT come up with this on your own – get it from a reputable source)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

divide $17 into 4 equal groups using your play money and with your parent\/older sibling.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And read!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have a good one,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
