POW:
CLASS: The Andersons are buying a new home. They need to fence the yard because they have a dog. The yard is 72 ft. by 120 ft. Each fencing section is 8 ft. How many sections will they need? How many posts will they need? (a post is needed at the end of each section). What else will they need?

CHALLENGE: A car dealer claims that by buying a new car, Mike will pay 1/5 less for gas than he pays for the car he currently owns. If the car Mike currently drives costs 1/6 less to gas up than Dave's car, and Dave pays $700 per year, what will it cost Mike to put gas in a new car for 1 year? Assume all cars will be traveling the same distance.

Vocab: WW4 due tomorrow, cumulative test 1-4 tomorrow

Challenge: The FFE serves fudge made from an old secret recipe. Marvin works at the shop after school. He does not know what all of the ingredients are, but he knows that in 3 days they use 15 pounds of dark chocolate, 30 pounds of sugar, and 21 pounds of butter.

This week

Hey class!

I enjoyed getting to chat with many of your parents for conferences.  Be aware that this year will be ending faster than you know -- it's important to master your study skills, time management and content knowledge before you leave 5th grade... and that is not going to happen by simply sitting in class.  You need to participate, study hard and ask questions if you don't understand something.

Here's an overview of this week:

What's due for tomorrow:
Math: homework (my group fractions, area, volume, PEMDAS work)
Writing: Pre-write for flag project/speech
Reading: Reading Reflection (only if you didn't do one yesterday)

What's due at the end of the week:
Math: POW
Vocab: WW2, Quiz on Friday as well

Special note:
You all start oaks tests in two weeks... don't slack!  Practice your comprehension skills on your reading reflections.  I have printed off challenge math packets too if you're wanting more review or more problems to work on.  Communicate your needs so I can accomodate them :).
