Bradley Homework

INTRODUCTION

MRS. BRADLEY’S HOMEWORK AND UPDATES FOR WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 2019.  THE FLOWERS ABOVE ARE SMILING BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY WILL BE GETTING EVEN MORE RAIN THAN USUAL EACH DAY.  TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE RAINY SEASON IN SOUTH FLORIDA.  RAINY SEASON BEGINS ON MAY 15TH AND DOESN’T END UNTIL OCTOBER 15TH.  DURING THIS TIME, SOUTH FLORIDA RECEIVES ABOUT 70% OF THE YEARLY RAINFALL.  RAINY SEASON’S START WAS CHANGED RECENTLY FROM JUNE 1ST TO MAY 15TH TO REFLECT HISTORICAL DATA ON RAINFALL.  WE BEGIN THIS RAINY TIME OF YEAR EXPECTING RAIN EACH DAY FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, AND IT SURE IS HOT!  THE PASSWORD FOR TODAY IS RAIN.  THE STUDENT WHO TELLS MRS. BRADLEY THE STORY OF THE CHANGE OF THE TIME FOR RAINY SEASON WILL RECEIVE THE DOUBLE DOLLAR PRIZE (WE DIDN’T HAVE A WINNER YESTERDAY.) AND AN ICE CREAM TO CHASE THE RAIN “BLUES” AWAY.

UPDATES

TOMORROW, THURSDAY, MAY 16TH, THE ASTRONAUTS AND THE LIZARDS WILL HAVE THEIR SCIENCE TESTS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR TODAY.  THERE ARE A MYRIAD OF REASONS FOR THE DELAY, BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO STUDY AND REVIEW.

TODAY, WEDNESDAY, MAY 15TH, THE TIGERS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO RETAKE LAST WEEK’S SPELLING TEST, WHICH WAS A DISASTER FOR MOST.  THEY OBVIOUSLY STILL DIDN’T STUDY BECAUSE THE GRADES WERE NOT MUCH BETTER.  THE HIGHER GRADE WILL STAND, BUT SEEING THOSE GRADES, THAT IS NOT MUCH COMFORT.

NEXT MONDAY, MAY 20TH, THE LIONS AND THE TIGERS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A PRACTICE TEST ON THEIR WE THE PEOPLE BOOK.  THEY MAY USE THEIR NOTEBOOKS ON THIS FIRST ROUND TEST.  THEY NEED TO BE SURE TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH UNIT IN THE BOOK IN THEIR SPIRAL NOTEBOOK.  TONIGHT, THEY ARE ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS FOR UNIT 5.

TONIGHT’S HOMEWORK

WE ARE STILL “OPERATING” OUT OF A BIG ROOM WHILE WE WAIT FOR ROOM 4’S AIR CONDITIONER TO BE REPAIRED, SO THE HOMEWORK IS LESS THAN USUAL AND HEAVY ON THE MATH SIDE.

SCIENCE

ALL–ASTRONAUTS AND LIZARDS–BOTH OF THESE GROUPS WILL HAVE A MULTIPLE CHOICE TEST TOMORROW.  THE LIZARDS’ TEST IS ON BIOMES, AND THE ASTRONAUTS’ TEST IS ON FORCE AND MOTION.

LIZARDS, DON’T FORGET THAT YOU HAVE A BIOME PROJECT DUE TUESDAY, MAY 28TH.

MATH

LIONS–THE LIONS ARE IN CHAPTER 8, THE GEOMETRY CHAPTER, AND ARE WORKING ON ANGLES.   FOR TONIGHT, IN THE TEXTBOOK, PAGE 382, #’S 20-24 AND #’S 28-31 AND ON PAGE 383, #’S 34-38.  SHOW ALL WORK WHERE APPROPRIATE.

TIGERS–THE TIGERS ARE STILL WORKING ON ALL KINDS OF DIVISION, INCLUDING CHANGING FRACTIONS TO DECIMALS, IN CHAPTER 11 OF THEIR TEXTBOOK.  FOR TONIGHT, IN THE TEXTBOOK, PAGE 240, SET B, #’S 9-20 AND PAGE 240, SET C, #’S 1-18.  SHOW ALL WORK, DIVISION AND MULTIPLICATION.

SOCIAL STUDIES

ALL–LIONS AND TIGERS–ANSWER IN COMPLETE SENTENCES IN YOUR SOCIAL STUDIES SPIRAL THE UNIT 5 QUESTIONS FOR WE THE PEOPLE.  THESE WILL HELP YOU, ALONG WITH UNITS 1-4, TO DO A GOOD JOB ON THE TEST FOR THE WE THE PEOPLE BOOK.
