PLEASE BRING A NON-PERISHABLE FOOD TO MASS TOMORROW.



Bit Strips: If you are having problems with your comic, I will help you on Friday at lunch.

Literacy
Tomorrow we will try to fit in one more rehearsal for the courtroom scene. You're welcome to bring in any props for Friday. Practice your lines! You may have your book in front of you, but do not read with your head down. Face the audience and look up from your book.


Math
PROPER NAMES OF NUMBERS IN A SUBTRACTION QUESTION:
minuend − subtrahend= difference


Today we reviewed two subtraction mental math strategies.


The first is adding up or changing the subtraction question into an addition question.
Example:
70 - 28
28 + ____ = 70
28 + 2 = 30
30 + 40 = 70
So the answer is 42


The second is adding or subtracting the same amount to the minuend and subtrahend
Example:
91 -39
(91 + 1) - (39 + 1)
92 - 40 = 52


Grade 5 please complete the first three questions of Mid-Chapter Review.


Science
Today we launched our new unit on what?
What did you learn today?
Below is a review of today's lesson. The girl refers to matter as having "weight", but the more correct term is "mass".
