Venn Diagrams in Google Docs

Hello everyone,

I have begun looking at some of the independent novel studies and am seeing some really great information on all of your books!

On page 3, it asks you to create a 2-ring Venn Diagram. I find that the easiest way to do this is to go to Insert at the top bar, then Drawing. Here you can draw 2 circles that overlap, then insert your textboxes to input your information. I will attach a little video below to show you the step by step.

If there is another way you'd like to do this, for example, drawing on paper, taking a photo and inserting it into the doc, or just labelling 3 different sections Circle A, Overlap, and Circle B, feel free to do it any way that works best for you.

Week of April 6-10th

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all continuing to be safe, healthy and happy!

The grade 5 and 6 teachers spoke this weekend and came up with a plan moving forward on how to present our teaching instructions to the students in a simple and straightforward way. So, every Monday, a slideshow will be sent to each student's email by their homeroom teacher. This slideshow will include a slide for every teacher that teaches your child in the morning and afternoon. Students can click on the slide for each teacher that they have and follow the instructions for the week. We will see how this works and iron out any glitches during the first week or two. Please continue to email me with any questions or concerns.

I will also attach the Google Slideshow to my blog every Monday so parents can have access too.


Hope everyone has a great week!

Review: How to Read Decimals

There are two ways to read decimal numbers. The first is to simply read the digits off. In that case, 4.1 would be "four point one," 5.6 would be "five point six," and so on.

Your other option is to read off the numbers to the right of the decimal point as if they were a single integer, along with the rightmost place value you use. For example, 9.2 would be "nine and two tenths," 8.34 would be "eight and thirty four hundredths," and 9.235 would be "nine and two hundred thirty five thousandths."
Try these on your own using the second way:
0.7
6.1
2.89
0.03
5.09
2.376 (grade 6 only)
1.008 (grade 6 only)
