HOMEWORK:

Living Museum:

Students should have their Living Museum paragraph completed by classtime May 16, so that one of the teachers can approve it. Students can be working on any SMALL, MINIMAL props or costumes at school and/or home during class May 15-17. Students should practice their paragraph many times, so they can present it fluently and be able to look up from their notecard as they present.

Families are invited to attend the Marlatt Living Museum on Thursday, May 18. Drop in anytime 1:30-3:30. The museum should take 30-45 min. to go through each “exhibit.” Castles will also be on display so families can see them when they visit, as well.

Math:

This week student will work to describe data using median and interquartile range. They will also learn to construct box plots and interpret the data from a box plot.

M: Set Problems Lesson #14

T: Set Problem Lesson #15

W: None

TH: Quiz 7.3: Median, IQR, and Box Plots; Begin “Show What You Know” Math Show

F: Work on “Show What You Know” Math Show and Present (all students must present by Monday)

Language Arts:

Students should be studying for their final vocabulary test over all of the roots that we have studied this year, which is Friday, May 19. The test will only require the students to know the roots and their meanings, not the 10 vocab words with each root. They have a page that lists the roots and meanings as well as flashcards with which to study. Ask them if you can quiz them!

Student portal will be updated each evening this week and ALL missing work MUST be turned in by Friday, May 19.

Social Studies and Science:

Castles can be brought in anytime now.  They are due on Wed. so that they can be on display on Thursday.  Please remember to follow the directions handed out in class.  Labels are very important.
