Week of December 3 - 7, 2012
Thursday HW
1. Mean Median and Mode 2.0 practice sheet. I marked all the ones that were handed in today and the common error was in the Median area. Students were not re-ordering the set of data from smallest to greatest before locating the middle number. As well, some students were not averaging the two middle numbers if the set had an even amount of numbers.
2. MMS booklet pages 72-73.
3. Data management quiz on Monday December 10 on Unit 5, Lessons 1,2 and 4.
4. Test pack #5 with parent signature and corrections is due on Tuesday December 11.
Wednesday HW
1. Journal on five senses based on The Giver. Due tomorrow.
2. Mean, Median and Mode practice sheet for tomorrow.

Tuesday HW
1. Spelling Text page 39 # 2,3; page 40 # 8; and page 41 (Haiku draft only, on your endangered animal). We started this last week in class and worked on it again today.
2. Grammar package #4, started in class today. We are building an impressive background of sentence theory to improve our writing style (Simple, Compound and Complex sentences; Inverted and Natural order, Declarative, Imperative, Interrogative and Exclamatory styles). Students should gradually be employing their understanding of these aspects to make changes in their writing. We will be emphasizing their use in Journals.
3. MMS pages 70-71.
4. Test package # 5 was handed out today and is due (with corrections and a parent signature) on Tuesday December 11. It contains three dictations, a patterning unit test, a geometry quiz and unit test and a play critique rubric. The critiques themselves are on our boards and contain written feedback.
Music on a Monday (on Tuesday). I heard some kids whistling Queen songs today in class, so here we go...
