Math - pgs 811 & 812 and extra enrichment worksheet (optional: IXL lesson 7E8...look it up by clicking the search button, typing 7E8, and then selecting the 5th-grade lesson). (Today, we worked on converting basic customary units. Example: 72in = 6ft.  Please continue practicing multiplication flashcards at home, as we will do a lot of multiplication and division in the next few weeks.)

Science - Seven Grandfather Teachings worksheet (Today, we continued our teachings on the Seven Grandfather Lessons from yesterday's field trip. Each child had a worksheet with seven characteristics. They had to fill in each circle with an animal that represents that characteristic for them. Tomorrow we will present them in front of the class for a test grade.)

Social Studies- None (Today, we watched a few Civil War videos on BrainPOP and answered questions for them too.)

Upcoming events:

We also have another Field Trip on May 21st to the Civil War Museum in Kenosha. More info is to come for chaperoning by our room parents—field trip forms to go home in April.
