Five for Friday

We have had some crazy weather this week!  

The weekend is starting of beautifully! 

Nonfiction Mats...
Each group is reading a different book about animals and their adaptations in their environment. The one thing they all have in common is the key concept.
The rectangle in the middle has the key concept. The outer trapezoids have textual evidence (5) for the key concept. Once everyone was finished, they shared the information.

A new set of Greek and Latin word parts...Poseidon style from the Reading Olympians.

My attempt at Roman columns for an anchor chart. 

Totally borrowed this from Fourth Grade Racers!
I read this on her test prep post! 

Love it!

See the 2 orange sticky notes at the top of the board? At the very end, I had one student pick a sticky note. It had an H or an L on it. H = High score and L = Low score. This determined the winner of the game. We've played twice this week.
Once for inherited traits/ learned behaviors and long division/3 digit x 2!
Thanks, Fourth Grade Racer for such a fun game!

My new favorite pens for grading! They smell and they change colors as you write.

Ok ... My daughter and I went to Orange Leaf for an after school treat!

I would have taken a picture, except I left my phone at home. (Felt lost all day!)

So just imagine...coconut, banana, birthday cake and peanut butter yogurt with a few gummy bears, a piece of Snickers and fresh coconut thrown on top! YUM!

Happy Friday!

I'm off to watch my daughter play softball!

Head on over to Doodlebugs to see other Fives for the week!
