Don't forget your Elements of Change narratives for Monday! Remember, I want the rough drafts as well.
Also, there are quite a few people who haven't started their reading logs. If you haven't gotten an entry in yet, try to make sure you do that over the weekend.
Here's another link to the assignment sheet just in case you need it.

Tomorrow is a PD day- no school for students.
In Science, we had our first test day for our slowest fluid race! Here is the task sheet for everything involved in this project: Racing Fluids Our final race will be on Oct 31st!
On Monday, we will be having a Math test on nets, surface area and volume.
We reviewed in class today. You can also use these links to review:
Khan Academy
Math Planet
Ducksters

Finally, our Halloween dance will be Wednesday afternoon. Students can wear costumes all day this year. We have started collecting non perishable food items for our We Scare Hunger campaign. Please continue to bring those in next week.

Yesterday we learned how to find the volume of the 3D shapes we have been working with. Today we solved some problems involving volume. These questions are for homework. If you forgot them at school here they are: Volume Word Problems
We will be having a test on Monday on Surface Area and Volume.
In Science, we are getting ready for our slowest fluid race! Remember to bring in your secret ingredient from home.
Start bringing in non perishable food items for our We Scare Hunger food drive.

Math/Sci October 16
MIAs went home yesterday. Be sure to share with your family.
In Math, we have started a project on Surface Area. The task sheet is here. This project is due on Monday, October 22nd. Can't wait to see the creative sculptures!
In Science, we have been busy learning about Viscosity and Density. Today, we built a density tower! Check it out:
Parents: ask you child to explain why this works.

Narrative Writing Assignment
Fantastic job on the Fairy Tales everyone! Lots of great stuff.
Moving on we're going to be starting our narrative writing assignment on change during the late Middle Ages as they move into the Renaissance. Check out the assignment sheet below. Due date TBD.

Math/Sci Update
In Math, we have been working on nets and surface area for cylinders, triangular prisms, and pyramids. Here are the word problems we worked on today and will continue tomorrow.
In Science, we went over the 4 main points of the Particle Model of Matter.
1. All matter is made up of tiny particles. Different substances are made of different particles.
2. Particles are always moving.
3. There are attractive forces between particles.
4. The particles have space between them.

Reminder to work on Reading Logs
Don't forget to start working on your reading logs if you haven't already.
1) Create a new Google Doc in your shared Google Drive folder called "Reading Log"
2) Make sure you update it every weekend to keep me in the loop regarding what you have been reading for the the past week.
3) Eat lots of turkey this weekend.

Math/Sci Update
Tomorrow we will be having a Math assessment on the surface area and nets of rectangular prisms.
In Science, students worked on a lab report in groups to determine if particle size had an effect on the rate of dissolving. Students need to bring in their supplies for this lab tomorrow.

In Math we went over our word problems from yesterday, including our challenge problem! Take a look at our questions here: Surface Area of a Rectangular Prism
In Science we have been exploring saturation points of solutes and solvents. We created a supersaturated solution in which we were able to see crystals form! Here is a great review of everything we have been looking at so far: The Great Picnic Mix up
