Today in 5th grade we...

- Had our lesson 12 spelling test, and explored a whole new set of words from lesson 13

- Learned how to make intelligent guesses about what a word means by using 'context' and then checking our guesses by using a dictionary. 

- Attempted to learned how to use logical reasoning, prime factorization, multiples and factors to solve mathematical word problems. Unfortunately it didn't turn out to be a successful lesson, and many students were left confused, so we will work on this lesson again on Monday. 

- Wrote our unit 6 quiz for science. 

Homework: 
Language - Vocabulary lesson 13 
Reading - Read Works
               - Free read for at least 30 minutes
Social Studies - Come up with, and type up all questions you want to research about your chosen topic
Language Festival - Memorize all lines of the song, and all lines you need to say for the poem 

Extras: 
- As you should already be aware of, next Thursday is our Thanksgiving Mass, Language Festival, and Thanksgiving Day lunch. All family members are invited to all events through out the day. Here is the approximate timing for that day's events:
