Hello North Kitsap Students! All of the staff want to tell you that we miss you and
we hope that you are staying safe. Every day is a chance to learn something new,
even if you need to stay home. Here are some things to help you stay caught up
with your school learning for this week.
IMPORTANT REMINDER!
We need all returning students to register in Skyward for next year! This helps us with planning. If you need any support, please contact our student records staff at (360) 396-3038.
QUOTE FOR LAST WEEK
“Learning never exhausts the mind.” – Leonardo da Vinci
“You never get tired of learning, even if it’s the smallest thing like, did you know that one type of katydid has ears on its knees. If that got you interested that is proof that your mind is and never will be tired of learning.” – anonymous “Learning never exhausts the mind means your brain is gaining strength and growing while learning.” – Catherine, Mrs. Bastiani’s Class, Richard Gordon Elementary
QUOTE FOR THIS WEEK
"We are born makers. We move what we’re learning from our heads to our hearts through our hands." -Brene Brown

A line plot is a graph that shows the shape of a data set by placing ✗s above each data value on a number line. You can make a line plot to represent a data set and then use the line plot to answer questions about the data set.
Students measure the lengths of several seeds. The length of each seed is listed below.
1 __ 2 inch, 3 __
4 inch, 1 __
2 inch, 1 __
4 inch, 3 __
4 inch, 3 __
4 inch, 3 __
4 inch, 1 __
4 inch, 1 __
2 inch
What is the combined length of the seeds that are 1 _ 4 inch long?
Step 1 To represent the different lengths of the seeds, draw and label a line plot with the data values 1 _ 4 , 1 _ 2 , and 3 _ 4 . Then use an ✗ to represent each seed. The line plot has been started for you.
Step 2 There are ✗s above 1 _ 4 on the line plot.
Multiply to find the combined length of the seeds:
× = inch
The combined length of the seeds that are 1 _ 4 inch long is 1 _ 2 inch.
You can use the same process to find the combined lengths of the seeds that are 1 _ 2 inch long and 3 _ 4 inch long.
Use the data and the line plot above to answer the questions.
1. What is the total length of all the seeds that the students measured?
2. What is the average length of one of the seeds that the students measured?
Line PlotsOBJECTIVE Make and use line plots with fractions to solve problems.
Problem Solving 6. A manufacturer ships its product
in boxes with edges of 4 inches. If 12 boxes are put in a carton and completely fill the carton, what is the volume of the carton?
7. Matt and Mindy each built a rectangular prism that has a length of 5 units, a width of 2 units, and a height of 4 units. Matt used cubes that are 1 cm on each side. Mindy used cubes that are 1 in. on each side. What is the volume of each prism?
Students read text closely to determine what the text says.

A Man of PersistenceExplorer Sir Ernest Shackleton might be the most persistent man who ever lived. On
December 5, 1914, he and twenty-seven men set out on a ship called Endurance. They hoped to reach the Antarctic continent and become the first people to cross the land on foot.
Despite the predictions of a terrible winter, Endurance left South Georgia Island, a remote island in the southern Atlantic Ocean. It headed for Vahsel Bay on Antarctica. Just two days later, the vessel ran into pack ice. For the next six weeks, the ship wove through ice floes.
On January 18, 1915, one day short of landing, the ship hit another thick pack ice. By the next morning, ice had enclosed the ship. Shackleton soon realized the ship was securely stuck in the ice and would remain stuck through many long winter months. During this time, Shackleton had his crew stick to their routines and exercise the sled dogs they had brought with them.
Ten months later, the crew still remained on board. In October 1915, pressure from the ice began to damage the ship, and it began slowly sinking. Shackleton and his crew abandoned the ship and made camp on the surrounding ice. On November 21, 1915, Endurance sank completely.
The crew camped on the ice for several months, and in April 1916, the ice floe broke in half, causing the crew to flee in lifeboats. Days later, they landed on Elephant Island, about 350 miles from where the Endurance sank.
Shackleton knew he had to take a drastic step if they were ever to be rescued. Elephant Island was too remote for a rescue attempt. So a group of six men set off in a lifeboat for South Georgia Island, where their journey had begun.
The lifeboat landed on the west side of South Georgia Island in May 1916. The whaling stations—the only source of rescue—were on the east side. Shackleton and two others left on foot to travel the twenty-two miles to the nearest stations.
Within thirty-six hours, the men had made it to a whaling station and began planning the crew’s rescue. Finally, on August 30, 1916, the crew was rescued from Elephant Island. After almost two years, the ordeal was over, and not one crew member had died. It was an amazing expedition with a happy ending because of one man’s persistence to bring everyone home.

Sleuth Work
Gather Evidence Underline events that highlight Shackleton’s persistence.
Gather Evidence: Extend Your Ideas Add brackets around the events that caused Shackleton to draw on his personal resolve and determination.
Ask Questions Write two questions you would ask a crew member about Shackleton’s leadership skills.
`
Ask Questions: Extend Your Ideas Write an additional question about Shackleton’s leadership skills that is answered in the text. Circle the answer in the text.
Make Your Case How important was Shackleton’s persistence to himself and the crew of the Endurance?
Make Your Case: Extend Your Ideas Use evidence from the text to support your opinion about which act of Shackleton’s was the bravest. Discuss your results with a partner.
Students apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills.
Complex Spelling PatternsDIRECTIONS Use the ending -ous, -eous, or -ious to change the underlined noun in each sentence to an adjective. On the line, write a new sentence with the new adjective. The new sentence may, but does not have to, say the same thing as the original sentence.
1. Drake experienced an attack of nerves.
2. Marla’s behavior toward the queen was a model of courtesy.
3. The virus is quite likely to cause an infection.
4. That question always gets a variety of answers.
5. Leon’s new bedroom has an incredible amount of space.
6. Have you ever known a person who is full of ambition?
7. Randy was full of fury when he got the letter with his score.
8. Please exercise caution when you climb down the ladder.
9. Neptune, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus are made mostly of gas.

Students apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills.
