Math - Practice Test for your Group  (optional: IXL lesson 8KV...look it up by clicking the search button, typing 8KV, and then selecting the 5th-grade lesson). (Today, we worked on our Practice Test in class and will also take another one home for homework. The test is on Thursday, April 24th. Please continue practicing multiplication flashcards at home, as we will do a lot of multiplication and division in the next few weeks.)

Science - None - Bubis Only (Today we started the next lesson in our book, which asked us the critical question, How do clouds and precipitation form? You might want to ask questions:  Is it possible to have hail fall when the air temperature is above 0 degrees Celsius?.. Yes, because the wind and freezing temperature at the top of the clouds is what forms hail, not the temperature of the Earth.  What form of precipitation does most rain start as?... Ice Crystals   Types of clouds?...Cirrus, Cumulonimbus, Altocumulus, Stratus, Fog. My class had their monthly visit from Ms. Han & Mrs. Walsh today, plus we did this lesson yesterday.)

Social Studies- None (Today, we explored the history of the Gold Rush with packet #2 of facts and questions. All packets will go home on Friday for parents to view.)
