Grammar HW: Pronouns

Here is the page of the Homework! Page 378 levels A and B


Science experiment for Homework

Hello!! 

I am really sorry I couldn't post this yesterday! 

The experiment you have to do is the following:

What color is sea water?

If yoy compared the color of a glass of tap water with a glass of sea water, you probably could not tell the difference. But, if you go to the beach, the ocean may look blue, gray, or dark green. 

Materials:

1) One liter glass container or water glass filled with salt water. 
2) Various shades of blue, black, and gray construction paper cut into 13 cm squares. 

Directions

1) Think of the times you have been to the beach. What color was the water?
2) Pour the salt water into the glass. Look at its color. It represents water you take from the ocean. Why do we think ocean comes in various shades then?
3) Cover the top of the glass with dark blue construction paper. What happens now?
4) Cover the glass now with the other colors. What happens? How does this explain the colors of the ocean?



That is what you have to do! Here is the way you have to present it. You can either print this paper and paste it in your notebook or copy it there.

WANTED: Freckle Juice book report

Hello kids!!

For this week's reading assingment, we will have two parts. Part one is the book report that we did as classwork, and now for the more fun part that is your homework. You have to create a "WANTED" poster for one of the characters from Freckle Juice by Judy Blume, the book we've been reading (if you have trouble recalling the characters' traits and looks, here's a little help click here and here).




You must pick any character from the book and create a "wanted" poster that includes:

  • Character's name
  • The crime
  • Physical description
  • Where the character was last seen
  • Reward amount
Including references from the book in the last two may grant you bonus points ;)

Remember that you should do it as a real poster, so any work piece that is on a regular sheet of paper with no effort at all will be returned. 


Here I post for you some examples of how a "wanted" poster looks like:





Be as creative as you want!! I'm looking forward for your work (which should be given back next Thursday).


Hugs, 
Ori
