5th Grade Math - We have begun working with fractions. We constructed some fraction model kits, and have been comparing, adding and subtracting some basic fractions.
Theme - Our Egyptian Nomes had some serious competition this week competing in a multi-day Sarcophagus Quiz Game where they had to use all that they have learned about life along the Nile in order to accumulate enough Travel Points to make it to the midway point of our Nile travels.
Reading - We continued working on strategies for reading informational text and supplementing Egyptian learning.
