Activity 1 - Please look at these websites and decide if they are valid and correct.  Would you trust the information found there?  Use your investigative skills such as asking - who? what? when? where? why? or how? 

website 1 - Is this true? Was this a real plane?    http://www.weathergraphics.com/tim/fisher/  

website 2 - Do you think you can get paid the make people laugh?  Is this website real?  http://www.profitfromhumor.com/humor.html?pg=sb-web

ONLY ONE of these websites is real... choose which one, email Mrs.Jones and explain why you made that choice.

Math Practice

Today you will be practicing for the Math Assessment on the computer.  You will be taking a review test at the math website that links in with your textbook.  After the practice test, raise your hand to let Mrs. Jones know that you are finished and so that she can see your score. 

This is the website to use, where you will choose your grade level and then the area of "cumulative test prep."   http://www.eduplace.com/kids/hmm/

NOTE: The room needs to be silent while testing is being done.  Thanks!
