Grade+5

Week 4: Sept. 21st-25th Motivation: Getting to Know the Computer & It's Parts by watching a movie from BrainPop. Activity: The students will identify parts of the computer and laptop as well as explore computer safety. The students will use Pixie and Inspiration to complete these activities. The students will print their work.

__**Asteroids, Meteors, and Comets Materials**__
Grade 5 had mentioned how they wanted to complete this by October 8th.

Ryan has Mrs. Rosnik's class doing it October 5th. Natalie, I think you might have to do it next week (Sept. 30th).

This is the Inspiration activity. I added specific questions from the Science guide. Video Retrieved from: http://player.discoveryeducation.com/index.cfm?guidAssetId=6ECF29CB-B02B-45AE-B2F9-9BC4830A4C49&blnFromSearch=1&productcode=US

**__Colonial Children Webquest__**
Motivation: Concept Attainment show the two folders of materials. Ask them what the pattern is in the folders and what this pattern means. 1. Discuss with students how colonial children had many different responsibilities and interests when they were a child. 2. Show students the webquest directions. Have them read aloud the directions and read any questions they might have. 3. Show students the webquest rubric. Inform students that they will be graded using the following criterias. Go through each section and discuss what students need for exemplary scores. 4. Show students the example from last year. Show students the features each group included in the powerpoints and why they included them. 5. Finally, show students the template. It is a very limited template and will need a lot of additional slides. 6. Have students view the resource web pages they must use while researching their topics. 7. Each group will have student jobs: =__Group Jobs__= =PowerPoint Researchers/ Note Takers Image / Resources / Citation Person= =Floaters / Band-aids=

Week of 3.1.2010 U.S. Constitution

In preparation for the Simulated Congressional Hearing the students will have by the end of the year, students will become more aware of Constitutional law. It is a long process.

I have a Consitution movie that is 50 min long. It split it into two classes. Show half of the movie this week.

I have a website that is fun, interactive, and helps with researching the constitution. http://www.congressforkids.net/games/billofrights/2_billofrights.htm

I placed it inside of my hand out folder. Have students explore and read for the rest of the class.
