*Please see Google Classroom for the exact times for each subject from now on! Students will be able to see it everyday too!*

Today we will introduce a little bit more subjects. The biggest addition will be in math. They will be taking a unit 1 pre-assessment. We will be taking a pre-assessment before every unit to see what knowledge students already have the of the mathematical concepts they will be instructed in during the unit. This helps me to know what concepts to spend more time on!

Students will be asked to attempt as many questions as they can for 15-20 minutes. It is okay if they do not know how to do something yet! They have not been taught the fifth grade concept yet, so leaving questions blank or writing “I don’t know” is perfectly acceptable!

They will be taking the assessment found on Google Classroom. They will type their work and answers into the Google Slides I provided for them. They may use scratch paper for their work but do not need to turn that into me. Math is done in pencil only!

Materials:

1. Social Studies Unit 1 note taking packet (the front should say “How did geography and climate affect how early people lived”)

2. Pencil + eraser

3. Highlighter

4. 6 different colored pens (gel pens and fine tip markers work best, but colored pencil/crayons are okay!)

5. A blank piece of paper

6. Holes comprehension packet (labeled “Chapters 1-5 COMPREHENSION” on the front page)
