MATH
*****Notice:***** Daniel has done the Grade 5 checklist for math. He's pretty proud of this. Sorry if this messes things up for Westwind, but honestly, I don't care. My kids need the the satisfaction of knowing that they are a grade ahead in math, so whatever.
I had to do a few "supplemental" lessons because Rightstart didn't do the entire checklist, but I thought it was good to teach the things Rightstart missed.
Whole numbers to 1 000 000(expanded notation)
Estimation:Front end rounding. (253+615) is > (200+600)
Compatible numbers: (317÷4) to (320÷4) = about 80
Compensation:(6+9 is same as 5+10) & (21-18 is same as 20-17)
Mental Math: 9’s pattern, repeated doubling & halving
Annexing then add 0. (30 x 400) is (3x4 add three 0’s)
Distributive property. (98x7) = (100x7) – (2x7)
Understand Multiplication(2 digit x 2 digit)
(36x42) is (30x40)+(30x2) + (6x40)+(6x2)= 1200+60+240+12
Division(3 digit ÷ 1 digit) understand remainders
Compare fractionswith like & unlike denominators
(CPS) Concrete- hands-on, Pictorial- drawing Symbolic- written number.
Relate decimals & fractions (0.250 = 250/1000)
Compare & order decimals (to thousandths)
± Decimals(6.3+0.25+30.158)
Use pattern ruleto predict subsequent elements. (n+2)
Express & solve a problem as an equationwith a letter variable. (Ex. 30 ÷ n= 6)
90o angles(recognize, sketch, label)
Construct rectangles with given area or perimeter.
Measureusing mm/cm/m conversions (Ex. 1000mm = 1m)
Volume(cm3 & m3) & Capacity (mL & L)
2D & 3D shapes(edges, sides, & faces)
(parallel, intersecting, perpendicular, vertical & horizontal)
Quadrilaterals
(rectangles, squares, trapezoids, parallelograms & rhombuses)
Transformations(translation, rotation & reflection)
1st hand & 2ndhand data. Double bar graphs.
Likelihood of a single outcome. Probabilityexperiments.

Writing follows a logical sequence
I think there's proof of that here, especially in all the huge long fictional story I have recorded throughout the year.
Cursive writing is legible
I've taught Daniel a little cursive, so this is not a total "no" but I can't find the proof, and it's been too long to ask him to write any, so yeah, Just whatever.

With Barton, she says not to use a regular dictionary, but we do use an electronic dictionary/thesaurus, and throughout Barton we are checking homophones and discovering the correct way to spell word that don't follow rules.

Summary of Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star
By Daniel McKay
The book “Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star” is a magical awesome story. It’s the second book in the Fablehaven series. I thought the adventure was amazing.
Seth and Kendra Sorrenson are brother and sister. Their grandma and grandpa are caretakers at Fablehaven. Fablehaven is a preserve for magical creatures. It’s really big and goes on for miles. They live in one of the houses that’s protected from uninvited things.
Fablehaven is supposed to be secret with a special artifact, but a group called the Evening Star is evil and has found out about Fablehaven and are trying to get the artifact. Vanessa is a narcoblix, which is like a vampire, and is working for the Evening Star. The Sorrensons need to get the artifact before Vanessa.
Vanessa controls people in their sleep when she bites them. She takes over the house, but Kendra and Seth escape. They go to a cottage on the preserve, but they have to go back to the house to get the key to the artifact. They can never sleep. They have to shrink themselves to get into the house through the brownie’s world. Once they are inside the house, they use a magical glove that helps them be invisible. They steal the key and run.
To get the artifact, they must to go through a cursed grove that has a revenant that scares you so bad that you can't move and makes you into a brain dead albino. They have a potion pouch and Seth drinks the brave potion so he can defeat the revenant. Seth has to take out a wooden nail from the neck of the revenant that gave the revenant all his power.
When Seth takes out the nail, all the albinos turned back to normal. There was an albino named Warren, and when he turned back, he helps Kendra find the artifact in the inverted tower in the middle of the grove. Seth can't come because he has been injured by the revenant.
The key turns into a spear, and there are a few doors. Each door has a winding staircase, but they are fake, and if they went on them they would fall. They find a secret door which they go through. There is a real staircase but some steps were still fake.
They go through lots traps and tests until they go into this room that has a drop off. They have to use little sticks to help them control their gravity in the room. They float down the drop off and find a cat.
They need to defeat this cat nine times, and every time they kill it, it gets bigger and more powerful. Vanessa teams up to kill it because it’s too powerful. For the last cat Tanu and Coulter, friends of their grandparents, come to help kill the cat.
When they kill the cat, there is a cat teapot that has golden dust that can heal anything. They heal everybody with the dust.
The Sphinx, who everyone thinks is the leader fo the Knights of the Dawn, an organization of the good guys, is waiting for them. He takes the artifact. He puts Vanessa into a special prison called the quiet box that can only hold one prisoner. The Sphinx takes the old disguised prisoner, that used to be in the quiet box, with him.
Vanessa is mad, and she writes Kendra a secret message about how the Sphinx is actually a bad guy.
The ending of the Rise of the Evening Star made me want to read more. I think the author did that on purpose. This question about the Sphinx is epic and I need to know more. What is Kendra going to do? What’s going to happen with the Sphinx? Will they trust Vanessa’s writing? I can’t wait to find out.
