Phonics: WB p. 149-150. Remember to use the "Here's a Hint!" boxes to help you. The directions for the first section on p. 149 are incorrect in my book and might be in yours too. The directions say to "Add -ing or -ed," but you should be adding -s, -es or -ed. The chart that you are filling in is labeled correctly.

Spelling: Unit 25 WB p. 164-165   When you are finished, use the list of words on p. 162 to put all 18 words in ABC Order. Please type the ABC order in a google doc, and share it with me before the end of the day.

Math: Lesson 12.9 - WB p. 152

Subtracting fractions with like denominators:

• Just like in addition, when we subtract fractions with the same denominator, we subtract the numerators and the denominator stays the same. 
• Some answers need to be put in simplest form again today. Remember from yesterday that simplest form is making the fraction as small as possible. We use division to get smaller. 
• "Whatever you do on the top...you have to do on the bottom!"
• *On WB p. 152, only #4, 5, 11, and 12 have to be put in simplest form. The rest of your answers will stay how they are. They will already be in simplest form.
• Here is a video from Khan Academy to help you! It shows how to subtract and simplify!

*March math packets will be collected when we return. Students who have not finished should continue working on it at home.

Reading: Read chapter 9 of Mr. Popper's Penguins. Complete "Understanding the Story" Chapters 7-9 (front and back) in the Novel Study packet.

Grammar/Writing: "My Writing Journal" - "Who is someone you look up to in your life?" Please answer this journal with 5-7 sentences in paragraph form. Color the border when you are finished.

• Before school was closed, we were working on the writing unit for chapter 3. We will continue working on writing again this week at home. We usually spend about 2-3 weeks on each writing unit. We will be starting a new Grammar unit soon.

Science: Scholastic News - "Are Aliens Real?" Read and complete by tomorrow. Once you have completed the magazine you may go onto scholastic.com to explore the magazine even more. This is where all the videos will be. Please do not explore other magazines until they are assigned.
