Below is an outline of this week's assignments for Reading, Math, and Science! Reading Assignments/ Information This week’s focus in reading will be Text Features- Graphs and Charts. As students know, authors organize their text in a way that is helpful for their readers. In this week's reading, the text includes graphs/charts students will use to help them identify important information. In addition, we will continue reading and studying Greek Mythology. We will read and compare a variety of Greek Myths. Students should complete the following reading activities this week;
Math Assignments/ Information Students should continue to practice math 20-30 minutes a day. They can work on Khan Academy Lessons or on the ¨PDF Math Activities¨ posted in google classroom. This week I will post journal pages and Home Links from Everyday Math lessons 8.7-8.9. During these lessons students will solve number stories by converting decimals to fractions, find the area of rectangles using fractions and mixed numbers, and multiply fractions by whole numbers to solve number stories. As a reminder this unit is complex and brings everything students have studied together. It will be challenging. I encourage students to try these lessons, and do their best. I will post the answers to the Math Journal pages at the end of each week. In addition, I have assigned a Khan Academy unit focusing on Decimals! Science Assignments/ Information Over the past month students have had time to plan, create, and build amazing inventions! Students have done an amazing job with this assignment. Classes will have an opportunity to share their inventions during a 4th grade class meeting the last week of school. If you did not complete your invention yet, please submit it to me as soon as possible. When I receive it I will give you points and add it to the Virtual Invention Convention!
Please email or message me with any questions. Have a great week! Ms. Lemberis

Ms. Lemberis UChicago STEM Education is excited to announce that they still plan to facilitate the South Side STEM Summer Camp, as a virtual experience. Current 4th and 5th grade students are invited to apply.
The summer camp will serve as a platform for students to build passion and confidence for STEM through a deep dive into engaging content and through activities that are explicitly designed to foster students’ growth mindsets as STEM learners. Acceptance into the camp will be application-based but is neither selective (i.e. based on high achievement) nor remedial (i.e. based on poor performance). Rather, the camp targets a wide range of students who are willing to engage fully in the three-week camp and open to learning new things. The three-week STEM Camp will run from July 13-July 31. Students will need to have access to a computer and wifi. Please see details on the attached flyer. All campers will receive:
Thanks to generous funding from the University of Chicago Women’s Board, there is no cost to families or schools. Interested families must complete an online application on or before June 1.
