Weekly Academic Schedule
Week of 5/11-5/15
Remember! Work for this week is due by the end of Sunday, May 17th.
ELA
This week we will use what we have learned about moon phases to gather ideas for our fictional short story explaining why the phases occur.
Monday: Review the phases of the moon and what causes the moon to appear to be changing shape and size. Students will answer the question: What causes the phases of the moon?
Tuesday: Learn how cultures in the past had various beliefs about what caused the phases of the moon. Read/Listen to folktales, myths, and short stories from around the world explaining what causes the phases of the moon.
Wednesday: Read/Listen to folktales, myths, and short stories from around the world explaining what causes the phases of the moon.
Thursday: Read/Listen to folktales, myths, and short stories from around the world explaining what causes the phases of the moon.
Friday: Students will begin the performance task: What causes the phases of the moon?

Math
This week we will continue with our geometry unit with a focus on identifying angles, measuring angles with a protractor, estimating angles, and determining missing angles.
Monday: Review right, acute, obtuse, and straight angles and measure angles using a protractor. Students will complete an exit ticket. (This will last two days.)
Tuesday: Review right, acute, obtuse, and straight angles and measure angles using a protractor. Students will complete an exit ticket. (Day 2)
Wednesday: Using what students know about angles to estimate angle measure. Students will complete an exit ticket.
Thursday: Recognize angle measure as additive. When an angle is decomposed into non-overlapping parts, the angle measure of the whole is the sum of the angle measures of the parts. Students will complete an exit ticket.
Friday: Solve addition and subtraction problems to find unknown angles on a diagram in real world and mathematical problems, e.g., by using an equation with a symbol for the unknown angle measure. Students will complete an exit ticket.
**Students have example videos as well as practice activities posted in Canvas to reinforce and model these skills.**
