Sunday, May 31,2020
Good morning Boys and Girls,
I hope you all had a great weekend. It was so nice to have several days of sunshine. I can’t believe we are on week 12, and there are only two and a half weeks left of this school year.

Good morning Boys and Girls,
I hope everyone had a great weekend. The weather was fantastic. I was able to get some gardening and yard work done. That is always so satisfying for me. I hope you all had a chance to get outside and run around.
This week’s math work is a review of adding and subtracting fractions. Remember back in school we practiced the 5 steps to adding and subtracting fractions. They were: 1. Find a common denominator, 2. Make equivalent fractions, 3. Add or subtract the numerators, 4. Denominator stays the same, and 5. Simplify if possible. Make sure you use the slides Mrs. Menice included in the google slides Escape the Bakery activities. I know you can do this, but always remember if you need help, watch the videos in google classroom or search for a video on youtube.
Math:
- Complete “Understanding Place Value”: Found in google classroom
- Complete “Adding and Subtracting Fraction Match-Up”: Found in google classroom
- Complete Part 1 of Escape the Bakery: Due Tuesday Found in google classroom
- Complete Part 2 of Escape the Bakery: Due Wednesday Found in google classroom
- Complete Part 3 of Escape the Bakery: Due Thursday Found in google classroom
- Complete Part 4 of Escape the Bakery: Due Friday Found in google classroom
Writing:
This week’s writing is working on your favorite Covid recipe. You might want to try it out before you decide it’s your favorite.
Once you’ve picked your recipe, you will need to carefully read all the directions before creating your slide.
Write your recipe on one of the attached google slides. You can pick what format you like best.
Once you choose your slide, you can change the background color and font.
I have included my favorite recipe too, so use it for reference. Notice on one of the recipe cards I used the colors of the Mexican Flag as the background colors to give it some added flare.
Be creative, don’t just copy the recipe. Make it your own.

I believe there has been some confusion about what you need to do for your assignments. Please take a minute to read through these instructions.
- Everyday you should log onto my webpage at hullpublicschools.org and check the Homework tab. There you will find what you need to do and where to find it.
- If there is a google classroom assignment, you will need to log into your google account and enter the classroom that has your homeroom teacher's name on it. For example, if you are in Mrs. King's homeroom you will enter Mrs. King Math. If you are in Mrs. McCarthy's homeroom you should enter Mrs. McCarthy Math. When you finish an assignment, you must hit submit and make sure it is sent back to me.
I believe some of you are completing your assignments, but I am not receiving them. Please just double check that they get submitted and sent.
- Log in to Mrs. King’s Reading Mellyn Classroom and complete the assignment that she left there for you.
- Continue working on your readworks.org work for Mrs. McCarthy.
- If you are looking for something to extra to do, you can always work on your Journal 1 math box pages, or if you didn’t finish any of the first two week assignments, I would work on those
