Verb - To Be Circumference

ITBS Test taking tips: (from  Maya)

Banned from your writing: TO BE as the main verb in the sentence. You'll be amazed how much your vocabulary improves by eradicating this one verb in its six voices

This is OFFICIALLY a no H/W week. If you choose to work at home on any of the projects (fantasy story/book club, updating your blog etc), feel free to do so.

This is a great video song on circles to help you learn the facts about circles



Add any test taking tips you received from your parents for others to read.

Rest tonight - Use the next 3 days to show what an excellent student you have grown into in 5th grade.

This is just creating a line graph similar to the ones we did in class at the end of today's lesson. e.g. Your line graph might be of two people running a race. You must explain what the line graph you have created shows. e.g. the heating up of a frozen pizza in a microwave oven.
