Educational Videos on Youtube

Hello you wonderful class! 

Today, I have created a list of fun and educational videos from youtube for you to further explore topics we have discussed (or will discuss in class).

There is much knowledge to gained from technological resources, such as youtube.  If you don't fully understand, or would like to explore and topic further I encourage you to use these resources.  They can boost your understand of the subject significantly! (Ed tech standard 8)

Although the internet is a great learning tool, I also want you to understand the dangers that can be found on line.  ALWAYS make sure to ask your parent before you even open an internet web page! They can help you find and explore appropriate websites and information. Here is a video explaining how to surf the internet safely (Ed tech standard 3).

Review of Parts of Speech

Hello Class!

As we are now starting into a new writing project, it is now time to review the basic parts of speech to make up a sentence. 

In order to write incredible stories we must understand how to write complete sentences.  Nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and pronouns allow us to create beautiful stories that other people can understand and enjoy along with us. 

Watch the video below to review the different parts of speech (3rd grade writing standard 5, Ed. tech standard 8).  We will discuss this further in class tomorrow. 

Brainstorm some ideas for fun stories to write. We will be writing and sharing our awesome stories within the next few weeks. 

Have a great weekend!

Exploring Heredity

Heredity is fascinating to study! What traits did you inherit from your mom? What traits did you inherit from your dad? 

As part of the 5th grade curriculum we will explore some of the traits that are passed from parent to child (5th grade science standard 5).  Last week we examined which traits come from which of our parents.  Now we will look at the characteristics of different dog breeds to further understand how traits are passed down from parent to child. 

Click here to view  a mind map about different dog breeds(Characterisitcs of Different Dog Breeds).  Reflect on how the characteristics of different dog breeds is dependent on the parent (Ed tech standard 6).  Think about how mixed breeds are similar and different from their parent. 

Record any thoughts that come to mind in your science notebook so we can discuss them in class on Monday.

Thank you for all the hard work!
