Can you believe we are in the last week before spring break/! I know all of us, especially the students, are looking forward to it. :) Of course, we have a wonderful week of learning still to go so please make sure your students are getting to bed and school on time and be on the look out for signed papers and homework. When we return from the break on April 9th, the Study Jams science and math review sign off sheets will be due! We have been giving the students some time in class as well to help them review all the related standards. If you have any interest in donating nonperishable snack items (pretzels, Goldfish, granola bars) in sealed packages for the Milestones testing days, you can send them in this week or the week of April 9th. Thank you in advance!
In Math, we are finishing our unit on Volume and will have a test this Friday, March 30th. A study guide for homework will go home today. In Science, we are continuing our exploration of physical and chemical changes and will have a related quiz this Friday. In Writing, we are working on an Extended Constructed Response (ECT) where the students will be prompted to write the own story based on the narrative story they have been given.
Thank you as always for your support!

MGSE5.MD.4
Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft,
and improvised units.
MGSE5.MD.5
Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real
world and mathematical problems involving volume.
a.
Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole- number side lengths
by packing it with unit cubes, and show that the volume is the same as would
be found by multiplying the edge lengths, equivalently by multiplying the
height by the area of the base. Represent threefold whole-number products as
volumes, e.g., to represent the associative property of multiplication.
b.
Apply the formulas V = l × w × h and V = b × h for rectangular prisms to find
volumes of right rectangular prisms with whole-number edge lengths in the
context of solving real world and mathematical problems.
c. Recognize volume as additive. Find
volumes of solid figures composed of two nonoverlapping right rectangular
prisms by adding the volumes of the non-overlapping parts, applying this
technique to solve real world problems.

S5P1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain the differences between a physical change and a chemical change. a. Plan and carry out investigations of physical changes by manipulating, separating and mixing dry and liquid materials. Prioritized
b. Construct an argument based on observations to support a claim that the physical changes in the state of water are due to temperature changes, which cause small particles that cannot be seen to move differently.
c. Plan and carry out an investigation
to determine if a chemical change occurred
based on observable evidence (color, gas, temperature change, odor, new substance produced). Prioritized
