Do your homework! It is your personal responsibility. The consequence until the end of the year involves making a plan for change with parent and teacher signature. Our Learning Intentions for the space science unit: I can describe the scale and various components of the universe. (e.g. planets, moons, asteroids, meteors, comets, stars, etc) I can identify different types of galaxies and characteristics of a star. Hmmmmm...Think About This! Carl Sagan, a "most famous U.S. scientist of the 1980s and early 1990s", told us that there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on all of the Earth's beaches. At the same time, there are more H2O molecules in just 10 drops of water than there are stars. Ranging from the unimaginably small to the unimaginably big, the scale of the universe is mind-boggling. Here are the video clips we saw in class. POST the 2 facts and question that you wrote in class. Homework:
Poetry: If you haven't presented your poem yet, you will do this tomorrow. Math: gr.6s 3 things for practice: #1 and 2 in text: Is this a reasonable measurement? 'Name the angle' worksheet practice and bottom half of worksheet when given degrees, you classify the angle. Goals: I am giving you one more day to do this. You have received a comment from me on FreshGrade regarding your 1st goal assessment and 2nd goal explanation. This will be checked tomorrow. It must be done as expected... (this is the reminder on the class site last weekend) **Remember to explain on FreshGrade, in detail, your current goal with exact days, times, places, what the evidence will be and how people will help... or this will be considered homework not done. Only BlueSwan, Justice and Happy Everyday did this correctly.

You rock!! Today's POST: 1. Did you dress up today? What is your motivation for dressing up or why didn't you dress up? How do you feel about theme days? Why do think Hillcrest has theme days? Why do you think some people participate and others don't. 2. Did you participate in the square dance after your pancake breakfast? What was your motivation for participating or why didn't you participate? Did you thank any of the grade 5s for serving or adults for their efforts? Why do you think the dance was taught to all of the classes? Why do you think some people thank others and some don't. Wow, thank you to our wonderful parents for providing such a great breakfast for us. That was very thoughtful! We had a great day with working on our onomatopoeia art, having our final blast off for air-powered rockets and our 2nd Explorations group. **Remember to explain on Fresh grade, in detail, your current goal with exact days, times, places, what the evidence will be and how people will help.
