Games
Here is a good game for reviewing for the Investigation 2 quiz. It's a Battleship game: http://www.quia.com/ba/540889.html If you play the game on medium and win, I'll give you a 100-point card.
Here is a good game for practicing our wordstudy words: http://www.quia.com/jg/2462218.html
I will give you a 100-point card for:
* 10 minutes of flashcards
* Completing matching, concentration, or the wordsearch.
HOT Peppers
I want to thank Kennedy and her dad for the ghost peppers. Ghost chilis (peppers) are one of the hottest in the world. The Guiness Book of World records recognized them as the hottest pepper. However, early this year a new pepper called, the Scorpion pepper, has surpassed ghost peppers in heat.
A ghost pepper has a scoville rating of: 855,000 units. To give you a reference, Tobasco sauce is 5,000 units.

In class today:
Science:
We took our quiz on the 5 science process skills we've been studying. We then journaled the vocabulary words and definitions from the next concept we are studying: Rocks and Minerals.
I also modeled a Fed Ex Day Presentation for the students so they could see what one looks like. It was a very average one, and I encouraged them to extend theirs further.
The presentation was on yeast, there are pictures below, and I put the sample fed ex day powerpoint in the listing folder (tabbed at the top of this website).
Math I:
We finished Target 2.1: Finding Patterns in Whole Numbers
We made rectangle models for every whole number 1-30. We then noticed that all prime numbers had just two rectangles, and all squared numbers (4, 9, 16, 25) had an odd amount of rectangles.
Math II:
We have a quiz tomorrow over all of Investigation 2 (there is a review game above). in our teams we played a review game. The game involved collaboration and even some bball skill, as groups could earn a shot at a basket.
It was a close contest but the Yellow Group won. congrats to Leah, Michaela, Andrew P, and Veronica!!

100-point Clue:
Here's something I do quite a bit for clues......I take a close up picture of the thing I hid them in. Here's the pic:
Good luck!!
