2. Blog Post

Log into the 5th grade blogs and choose one of the following topics to write about:

* What did you learn about the Bill of Rights this week? Why are they important?

* Does math come easy for you or is it hard? Have there been times when you were supposed to learn something in math but you didn't get it? What do you do? Are there maybe some other alternatives you could try? What advice would you give a friend who was having that problem?

* Think back to one of the better Calculation Nation activities you did on Wednesday. Describe it to someone who didn't get to it and give them some tips they can use to improve their score when they get a chance to play it.

* When we write in our blogs next week, what are some topics or questions you'd like to write about?
