HALLOWEEN

Today is Halloween and I feel the class is getting awful chaotic .We are changing the schedule to do activities called THE JACK-OLYMPICS. We will be in groups of 6 and competing. I’m not sure what we are competing for, but i’m sure if we win something it won’t be that bad.

I’m typing this while everyone is doing the survey because it’s the only quiet time I think i’m going to get. We moved around the schedule for the Jack Olympics. There is no history or science all week because of Halloween. Philipp is the leader of the week for all habits.

Our first experiment in science was, “What paper towel will absorb the most water?”  We had 4 different brands of paper towels and we did this by holding a paper towel over the bucket and then we fill the syringe 35 ml. high and then squirt it on the paper towel. And the last step is to stop when the first drop hits the bottom of the bucket.

In science we learned about evaporation, solutions, and saturation. We have done some experiments with those things. We have added so much salt, the water can't take it anymore. This is called saturation. We have done kosher salt dissolving into water and we have done Epsom salt dissolving into water. We know that saturation is when no more substance will dissolve into the liquid. We also know that evaporation is when liquid turns into gas. And solution is a mixture of more than one substance where one substance dissolves in the other substance.

We students in Mrs. Rosen’s class show hard work and
responsibility. We run laps each morning to stay healthy and fit.
It is also a competition because our class tries to run as many miles
as we can against Mrs.Avila and Mrs. Magan. I enjoy running
laps and many others do.
We also have P.E. every other day. We have Band or Art the days
that are not P.E. In Mrs. Rosen's class we also have advanced
math and regular math for fifth grade students. We also have
science or history towards the end of the school day. We have
science in Mrs. Rosen's class and history in Mrs. Avila’s class.

Here’s a word of advice, bullies are everywhere! Yup, you read it correctly and that will always be true. So here are some ways to stand up to bullies. First, you should tell someone and tell the bully to stop. Next, if that doesn’t work, you should try to ignore the bully as much as possible (which includes staying away from the bully). And if the bully is just too annoying and rude that you just can’t handle it, you should tell an adult with more power and ask them to get the bully away from you. Now that you know the steps to handle bullies, I hope any problems you have with bullies will be taken care of.

PEMDAS

This week in math we mainly learned about parenthesis. Then we learned about PEMDAS, or the order of operations. PEMDAS mean parenthesis, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract. In math, you do what is in the parenthesis first. After parenthesis, you look for exponents which are smaller numbers in size. After those two, you look for a multiplication or a division sign. Finally, you solve addition and subtraction. In our class we came up with sayings to remember PEMDAS. My saying was “Please Excuse My Daughter Annabelle Spick”. The most common know saying is “Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally”.

WELCOME BACK!

Welcome back to Mrs. Rosen's fifth grade class! We've started this year off with a mission. By mission, I don't mean superheroes. I mean the steps you take to be a superhero. In the photo you can see our amazing class working on personal mission statements. This is part of setting goals for ourselves. We've also made a time capsule to see how much we have improved over time. With our school now being A.V.I.D. we get to learn new ways to organize and be responsible. I hope you come visit our blog again soon!

THANK YOU FOOD CORPS!

Our class would like to give a great big thank you to Allison! Allison works with Food Corps and she provided monthly hands-on lessons and activities related to gardening, healthy eating, native plants, and local culture. Some of the favorite treats that the students made and tasted were: sauteed brussel sprouts, energy balls, veggies roll ups, herb flavored popcorn, and mequite flour pancakes. We are so thankful to have had these engaging learning experiences in fifth grade!

Cyber Bullying

     

Cyber bullying happens everyday. If you don’t know what Cyber bullying is, it’s when someone spreads rumors about you on the internet or just bully you on the internet. For example, say that I’m on my phone and someone says that I  did something bad and they keep doing that or someone can say hurtful things to you or just be a bully! I have been Cyber bullied before by strangers on social media and its not fun. But I usually ignore them or block them and it's that easy!  But, someone can be cyber bullying you and you won't know it. A way to deal with that is to ignore it just like if someone bullied you everyday at school. It’s not always that easy. People can blackmail you into doing something on the internet that you’ll regret. But if you say you won’t do it and they threaten you, they’ll usually be to afraid to do the thing that they’ll say. The best thing to do is tell an adult.  Cyber bullying is no joke! If you are being cyber bullied, then take my advice.

Multiplication Scavenger Hunt

Multiplication Scavenger Hunt

Short Introduction: On your mark, get set, go! See how fast your child can find multiplication facts and solve them on their recording sheet! This energizing activity can be played indoors or out.

Subject: 
Math
Multiplication

What You Need:
Multiplication flashcards
Basket
Blank piece of paper
Pencils
Timer 
Clipboards or hardcover books (if playing outside)

What You Do:
1. Choose 20 multiplication flashcards and place them around the house. 
2. Decide the difficulty of the scavenger hunt based on how easily your child gets frustrated. For example, if your child really likes a challenge, place cards in drawers and behind baskets if you want to really make her think.
3. Get out a blank piece of paper and a basket.
4. Divide the paper into at least 20 sections. You do not need to number each section.
5. Explain to your child that when you say, “On your mark, get set, go” she will begin searching around the house for the hidden facts. 
6. Explain that once she finds a card, she will write the entire fact on her paper, solve it, place it in her basket, and continue to look for more facts!
7. If the cards are double-sided, allow her to choose the problem she wants to solve.
8. Begin the timer and let her loose!
9. If your child needs help, encourage her to draw a picture or get out blocks, bottle caps, or beans she can count.
10. Even if it takes your child 20-30 minutes to solve all the multiplication facts, celebrate her success when she is finished! Record the time it took her to solve the problems on the back of her recording sheet and explain to her that when you play the game again, you’ll compare times. 
11. Praise her and explain that the more you practice, the easier it will be to solve the facts. 

This game can easily be modified to accommodate more players. If two or more children want to play, be sure to get out enough paper and baskets. To make the game last longer, increase the number of multiplication cards you layout, or to play a short and sweet game, stick with 20.

This game can be played more than one time in a row, especially for eager kids who want to beat their first time. If you decide to play outside, use clipboards or hardcover books to write on.

Scavenger hunts are perfect activities to play on those never-ending days where the kids just can’t figure out what to do. Keep them busy while they get a bit of exercise and master multiplication, too! 

Write a comment if you completed this scavenger hunt and you can earn a prize in class!!
