Hi class.
Tomorrow the only thing you have due is your 5 paragraph ROUGH DRAFT essay about art. It can be in your notebook, it can be typed, it doesn't matter. It's just a rough draft. We'll work on them at school.
The final draft is due on Thursday and the presentation is on Friday.
For your book report, here are the journal questions. I will give you a copy of the questions and the worksheet you need to do for the book report this week.
ournal Questions
Directions: Please TYPE or WRITE the answers to your journals on a separate piece of paper. Do not write these in your notebooks. Do not write them on PowerPoint. Write them on lined paper with good handwriting or type them in Microsoft Word using 12 point font. Do not email them to me. These are due on Monday, November 8th. Each journal entry should be 15 sentences.
Journal question 1:
At the beginning of the book, what is happening? What do you think will happen next? What do you think will happen at the end?
Journal question 2:
Who are the main characters in the book? What do they act like? Do you like the main characters? Why or why not?
Journal question 3:
In class in Term 3, we talked about “rising action” that leads to the climax and then the resolution. Make a time-line of your book that shows the introduction of the problem, the rising action, the climax, and the resolution. Include at least 10 events.
Journal question 4:
If you could change something about your book, what would you change? Why?
Journal question 5:
Draw a picture of something that happens in your book. Explain what is happening. (This journal only needs 5 sentences.)

No one has sent me an email for the reading plans I've posted, so I think it would be best if everyone uses Raz-Kids. If you use Raz-Kids, and only Raz-Kids, please read at least 10 stories total. If you would like to read the articles I posted and answer the questions, please read those articles and send me an email and THEN please read at least 6 Raz-Kids stories.

Summer Reading Plan
Hello class!
Unless you are going to Missouri, you need to do some summer reading! Your reading plan will be due when we come back from break, and it is part of your Term 3 grades! Do not forget to do it!
You have three choices.
1. You may find a chapter book (in English) and read it. You need to email me the title of your book. You then need to make a poster about the book. You will have to do a presentation about the book when we come back to school in July.
2. You may read books from RazKids. I added new books to your level today. You need to read the books and do the quizzes. Each week please read at least THREE books.
3. Your last choice is this: I will post articles and activities on the blog two times a week. You need to read the article and do the activity.
You can combine choice #2 and choice #3 if you want, so you can read some RazKids or you can do the activity on the blog.
Please email me or leave a comment if you have a question. The first blog activity will be posted tonight.

Science Quiz and Math Quiz Tomorrow!
Hi Class! Don't forget, you have a science quiz and a math quiz tomorrow. You also have an oral interview exam. For homework this weekend, you had math problems AND you also need to read at LEAST 4 stories on RazKids for your reading plan! Don't forget! Your reading comprehension exam is on Wednesday, so if you read lots of stories on RazKids it will help you study!
For your science quiz, make sure you know these things:
1. The definition of light.
2. Make sure you can draw the electromagnetic spectrum.
3. You should know about the different kinds of waves... radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, UV-rays, and x-rays. Make sure you know that radio waves are the biggest and x-rays are the smallest! (Which means that x-rays have MORE energy than radio waves!!)
4. You also need to know properties of light *like, we can feel it, it travels really fast, stuff like that.)
5. You need to know the differences between a laser and a regular light bulb.
6. You need to know the differences between opaque, translucent, and transparent. You also need to know what refraction and reflection are.
7. You need to be able to draw a picture of a concave lens and a convex lens.
For your math quiz, you need to be able to do these problems:
1. Write a numerical expression for this problem: "Mr. Carson divides 28 chairs into 4 equal rows."
2. Write an algebraic expression for this problem: "At a bus stop, 8 of the 33 people on the buss got off the bus and OTHER people got on."
3. Solve: 45 - 7 + 5
4. Solve: (6+3) x 3
5. Solve: 4 + n x 8 (if n=5)
6. Solve: 8 + 2t (if t = 9)
7. Solve to find n: 5 x (8 + 3) = (5 x 8) + (5 x n)
8. Solve to find f: f - 8 = 17
9. Solve to find p: 5 + p = 16
10. Look at Sets G and H on page 121 in your math book. I might put a problem from Set G on the quiz!
*Hint: I am going to put up the answers to these problems at 7 p.m. tonight!
For your Oral Interview, you will need to answer questions LIKE these...
1. Describe your favorite food.
2. Tell me about your favorite television show.
3. What is something you would like to change in 5th grade? Explain.
4. What is something you learned about in science this term? How could you use that information in the future?
5. Compare Bogota and Medellin. Which city is better? Why? (Or Cali and Pereira...)
6. Imagine you won one a free trip to anywhere in the world. Where would you go?
7. Your family wants to buy a new car. What kind of car should they buy? Why would that be a good choice?
8. Is it better to have a lot of money, but have to work all the time, or is it better to be poor but to have lots of time to spend with your family? Why?
