Our Mobymax trophy this week goes to Aziz! Congratulations! Aziz is back on top and no one was even close in minutes to his work! Let’s see if we can get everyone completing their minutes on Mobymax and Lexia this week!
We’re going to continue reading Pax. I thought it would be interesting to find out a little more about foxes.

Math
Your assignment is a worksheet on perimeter and area. Remember, to find perimeter, you add the side lengths of the polygon. Area is all the space inside the figure. To calculate area of a rectangle, you multiply one side length times the other side length and the answer is in square units.
For example: Look at this rectangle:
To find the perimeter, we would count the side lengths. These are in feet. Across the top is 5, down the side if 4, across the bottom is 5 and back up is 4 so 5+4+5+4 = 18 ft.
To find the area, we would take one side(top or bottom)and multiply it by the other side (left or right). So 5 ft. X 4 ft = 20 square feet. Count the squares, is that correct? Yes, it is.
Practice by completing this:

They want to know how his feelings change from the beginning to the end. What feelings? His feelings about the island. Now answer the questions in the graphic organizer to help you construct your response.
Once we have identified how he felt, we can use what he said or did as the evidence.
For example:
At the beginning of the story, Manu felt___________ about the island. I know this because he said”_________________” . At the end, his feelings changed and he felt ______________. I know this because he (did or said) ________________. Manu’s feelings changed from the beginning to the end because _______________________. I know this because ___________ ( insert your evidence, your why). In conclusion, Manu ___________(restate the question).
