| Students did book talks today to sell their some of their favorite reads to classmates. |

| The beautiful Students Recommend Shelf |

| The mostly peaceful football game that happens every park recess. |

| Students took a rare leap into primary source documents of a Catholic variety this afternoon, which they read next to secondary source writing on Ohlone spirituality. There are some striking similarities, but that didn't make the Indian experience of the missions any less upsetting. The highlighting indicates what was confusing for one student. |
Homework:
Reading: reading group jobs
Writing: fifteen minutes in your writers notebook based on a prompt from the personal essay prompt list
Math:
5th graders delved deeper into the relationship between area and perimeter. How can you change the perimeter but keep the area the same? Homework on Monday's blog and POW.
Blue Group: Today we used protractors to measure and label the angles on polygon shapes, then began work on the homework packet. The biggest challenge for the students is recognizing which scale to use on the protractor for the degree of the angle. The goal is to first determine if the angle is greater or less than a right angle (90ยบ).
Blue Group Homework: Angle measures work pages. Some problems require you to use the plastic protractor handed out in class today (taped to your homework).
Fourth grade math
Purple group: After a mental math warm up, we used power polygons to estimate angle measures with benchmarks, like right angles (90 degrees), half-right angles (45 degrees), and one-third and two-third angles (30 and 60 degrees). Then students learned how to use protractors to measure angles more precisely. Since there are two different number scales on a protractor, students first need to decide whether the angle measure is more or less than 90 degrees, then use the appropriate scale.
Fourth grade math homework, due tomorrow
Purple group: Please complete the JUMP math packet, using the plastic protractor you received in class and your paper ruler.
