6 Party Problems Students plan a party and multiply money amounts. The problem is figuring out the best way to spend $80. Directions 1. To begin, students make decisions regarding food, decorations, and other items that they would like to include in their party plan. Then they use information from local stores and restaurants to find appropriate prices. Students multiply as needed; they may also use calculators to determine the total cost. 2. If the total amount is more than $80, students should reassess their choices and make the appropriate changes. If the total is less than $80, they divide the cost by the number of students on the team to determine how much was spent for each student. Students round amounts to the penny as necessary. 3. Fill in the chart. Party Problems You're planning the end of the season party for the basketball team. Seven players, including you, are coming. (Don't forget to invite the coach!) You can spend up to $80. Use data from nearby stores and restaurants to make your plans. Decide what you will spend on decorations, food, and anything else you want to include.

'.;FJ;['i-,l'*z Horiday season za:: St. Martin de Porres ( ) November S Martin de Porres was born in Lima, Peru, in 1579, the son of a freed African woman and a member of the Spanish nobility. He and his sister were raised in extreme poverty because his father abandoned the family. When Madin was 12, he became the apprentice of a barber-surgeon. In Martin's day many sick people went to barbers for treatment. These practitioners knew which herbs to use to treat aches, fevers, and wounds. They even set broken bones and pulled diseased teeth. Martin took to this occupation and became famous in Lima as a healer, He joined the Dominicans as a lay helper doing humble tasks around the monastery in exchange for room and board. While he did not think he was worthy, his superiors encouraged him to become a brother, and he served as barber, surgeon, infirmary worker, and wardrobe keeper. In this last job Maftin became known as a friend of all creatures, much like St. Francis of Assisi. Rats and mice had invaded the monastery and were raiding not only the larder but also the sacristy, where they were chewing on the vestments the priests wore at Mass. The story is told that Martin caught up with the leader of the rats and mice and made a deal with him. lf all the rodents would leave the monastery and live outside, Maftin promised to feed them every day in the garden. Martin was rewarded with a procession of rats and mice leaving the monastery. Martin also established a shelter and hospital for stray animals at his sister's house. But Martin extended even greater charity to people. He set up an orphanage and a hospital for abandoned children. Sometimes he would bring the ill and injured of Lima to his own small room for treatment. He was pafticularly concerned about the sad condition of African slaves and looked after them with great care. 'sde Many miracles were attributed to Martin. When the monastery's soup kitchen would run short of food, it seemed to increase miraculously. Despite all his hard work, Martin seemed to sleep and eat very little. People said he could pass through locked doors to reach those who needed him. He was even said to bilocate, that is, to be in two places at the same time to offer his charity and love to all..a, J'1, L. B. r'{ilf When Martin died, at the age of 60, nobles and bishops competed to carry his coffin to its resting place. He was canonized in 1962 by Pope John XXlll, who named him the patron saint of socialjustice and racial harmony because of his charity. aaeao A Service of Pf'lnumffiGospelWeeklies Note to Parents: More resources at pflaumweeklies.com/pgwonline O 2012 Pflaum Publishing Group, Dayton, OH.

11 L Name Drcl t ( {lfrri tv ) Wampum Wampum is the name Native Americans gave to white or purple beads made from shells. Wampum was used to decorate personal items such as clothing, and it was a common practice to weave thousands of these beads into wampum belts. The lroquois exchanged wampum belts as promises to maintain peace and to confirm friendships. The lroquois arranged the beads in designs that had special meaning for keeping records. White often represented health, peace, and wealth. Purple represented sorrow or sympathy. lf someone from another tribe gave a wampum belt to a chief, it was an invitation to visit or to join them in war against an enemy. The Keepers of the Wampum were respected people. They could "read" lengthy speeches or stories from the wampum symbols. Today, we would say they had remarkable memories. Because there were no computers or tape recorders to rely on, the wampum messages were memorized so they could be passed along to others. Study the symbols on the wampum belts pictured here. Peace belt shows pipe. War belt shows the five lroquois nations. Design your own wampum belt below. Write an explanation of the symbols you used and describe the purpose of your wampum.

17 Dear King George Cross Curricular Focus: History/Social Sciences In the late 1700 s the American colonists were becoming dissatisfied with their relationship with King George III. They didn t think he was doing the things that a good leader should do. What s more, he was doing things like charging unfair taxes and making colonists open their homes for soldiers to live with them. Colonists were feeling kind of far away from their king to begin with, and, as you may know, long distance relationships don t often last very long. Something needed to change. Colonists had begun to rebel. When the Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia in 1776, the committee selected Thomas Jefferson to be in charge of a small group who would write a letter to King George III. He had already proven himself to be an honorable man, a knowledgeable man, and an excellent writer. Writing the letter was kind of a dangerous thing, because it would be received as treason by the king, going against the lawful ruler. People who were associated with this letter could be imprisoned or killed for expressing their desire to become independent from the king. Jefferson s historic letter became known as the Declaration of Independence. It was very much like a break-up letter that might be exchanged between a boyfriend and a girlfriend. It listed all the reasons that the colonists thought the king was not being a very good king. It said that the king and the colonists should break their relationship with each other, and each should go their own way. Congress approved the Declaration of Independence on July 4, The members of the Second Continental Congress all signed it at the bottom. One of the men would become famous for his signature. Remember, signing the document would put a person at risk for severe punishment or death. Not wanting the king to overlook his name, John Hancock signed in huge letters. Even though those events took place long ago, he is remembered by name whenever something requires a signature. You may have heard someone request a signature by asking, would you put your John Hancock right here?

19 Name: Why Does Matter Matter? by Kelly Hashway What do trees, air, and water have in common? They all have matter. That means they take up space. You might be wondering why these things look so different if they all have matter. Everything found on Earth can be grouped into one of three states of matter: solid, liquid, or gas. In order to figure out which state of matter an object fits in, we have to examine its properties. The properties we look at are shape, mass, and volume. Mass is the amount of matter an object has, and volume is the amount of space the matter takes up. Solids are easy to recognize. They have definite shape, mass, and volume. Trees are solids. They are made up of tiny particles called atoms. These atoms are packed closely together, and they hold the solid in a definite shape that does not change. If you look around your house, you will see lots of solids. Televisions, beds, tables, chairs, and even the food you eat. Liquids do not have definite shape, but they do have definite mass and volume. Liquids are similar to solids because their atoms are close together, but what makes a liquid different is that those atoms can move around. Liquids can change shape by flowing. If you ve ever spilled a glass of milk, then you know it spreads out across the floor. It does this because the milk is taking the shape of the floor. Since liquids do not have a definite shape of their own, they will take the shape of their containers. This is why the same amount of milk can look different in a tall glass, a wide mug, or spread out on your kitchen floor. Super Teacher Worksheets -

20 Gases do not have definite shape or volume. Like liquids, gasses will take the shape of their containers. If a gas is not in a container, it will spread out indefinitely. This is because the atoms in a gas are spaced farther apart than in a solid or a liquid. And being spread out like this allows them to move around freely. Think about the air you breathe everyday. That air is spread across the empty space around the earth. You ve probably also noticed that you usually cannot see the air. This is another property of gases. Even though we cannot see them, you come in contact with them everyday. There s air in the tires of your family car and your bicycle. The sun is made up of gases, and the clouds in the sky are mostly made from water vapor. When trying to remember the three states of matter, think about water. If it freezes into a solid, it becomes ice. Its atoms are packed together keeping its shape. Of course, we know water can also be a liquid. It flows in rivers or it can be poured from a glass. When water evaporates it becomes water vapor, a type of gas in the air. Try a little experiment of your own by placing an ice cube in a covered glass or container. You will be able to observe the ice first in its solid form and then watch as it melts into a liquid to become water. Eventually the water will turn to water vapor and your glass or container will be filled with this gas. You can see three different states of matter in this picture. The pot is made of solid matter. The water inside the pot is liquid. When the liquid is heated it becomes water vapor, which is a gas. Matter is everywhere! Can you find a solid, a liquid, and a gas around you right now?

In those days, marriage was a way of creating good relations betwee nations. Elizabeth was the daughter of the King of Hungary and she becam engaged to the son of the ruler of Thuringia (thoo-rln-gee-a), a German nation about 350 miles northwest of her home in Hungary. She grew up with Ludwig (Louis), her future husband, and the two were married when she was 14 and he was 21. Elizabeth and Ludwig had three children, and the people of Thuringia were pleased when Ludwig became their sovereign. Always known for her charity, Elizabeth now could extend her generosity. She built a hospital and often went there to feed the patients and make their beds. Even her husband sometimes questioned her lavish generosity. One cold winter day he saw her leave the castle with something hidden in her apron. He thought it must be loaves of bread, but when he asked to see the contents, out-of-season roses came tumbling out. Another time, when the hospital was full, Elizabeth put a dying leper in the bed she and her husband shared. When Ludwig heard about this deed, he was afraid of contagion, so he ran to see for himself. When he pulled back the bedclothes, he saw not the leper, but a vision of Christ crucified. From then on, Ludwig always defended his wife's extreme generosity, saying it would bring many blessings to his nation. Ludwig was called to one of the Crusades, but died before he could reach the Holy Land. The heartbroken Elizabeth and her children were driven from the castle by her husband's brother, who seized the throne. Elizabeth was taken in by relatives and joined the Secular Franciscan Order. She carried on her mission of charity, but only for a few more years. She died at the age of 24.Today she is regarded as the the patron saint of those who carry on her work in soup kitchens and shelters for the homeless. aaoao A Service ot Pflaum$bGospelWeeklies Note to Parents; More resources at pflaumweeklies.com/pgwonline O 2012 Pflaum Publishing Group, Dayton, OH.

26 Name D^, z- L 6n*ev ) A Place to Live A primary source can be the words or writing of a person who tived at a partieulartfme in history. A secondary source can be the writings of someone who did not witness the event happening. Read the following passages about life on the Great Plains in the late 1800s. A, "The tipi is much better to live in; always clean, warm in winter, cool in summer; easy to move. The white man builds big house, cost much money, like big cage, shut out sun, can never move; always sick. Indians and animals know better how to live than white man; nobody can be in good health if he does not have all the time fresh air, sunshine and good water. lf the Great Spirit wanted men to stay in one place he would make the world stand siill; but he made it to always change, so birds and animals can move and always have green grass and ripe berries, sunlight to work and play, and night to sleep; summer for flowers to bloom, and winter for them to sleep; always changing; everything for good; nothing for nothing." 1. Which words are from a primary source? Why do you think so? B. lt took 14 buffalo skins stitched together to make the covering for'a Crow tipi. About twenty poles were needed. Two poles held open the smoke flaps at the top of the tipi. The front of the tipi could be fastened shut with t lacing pins. The :[ Blackfeet painted their \, tipis.

27 Static Electricity Experiment They say opposites attract and that couldn't be truer with these fun static electricity experiments. Find out about positively and negatively charged particles using a few basic items, can you control if they will be attracted or unattracted to each other? What you'll need: 2 inflated balloons with string attached Your hair Aluminium can Woolen fabric Instructions: 1. Rub the 2 balloons one by one against the woolen fabric, then try moving the balloons together, do they want to or are they unattracted to each other? 2. Rub 1 of the balloons back and forth on your hair then slowly it pull it away, ask someone nearby what they can see or if there's nobody else around try looking in a mirror. 3. Put the aluminium can on its side on a table, after rubbing the balloon on your hair again hold the balloon close to the can and watch as it rolls towards it, slowly move the balloon away from the can and it will follow. Write a paragraph about what you observed. At least 8 sentences in length. Topic and closing sentence Can be typed or writing in pen What's happening? Rubbing the balloons against the woolen fabric or your hair creates static electricity. This involves negatively charged particles (electrons) jumping to positively charged objects. When you rub the balloons against your hair or the fabric they become negatively charged, they have taken some of the electrons from the hair/fabric and left them positively charged. They say opposites attract and that is certainly the case in these experiments, your positively charged hair is attracted to the negatively charged balloon and starts to rise up to meet it. This is similar to the aluminium can which is drawn to the negatively charged balloon as the area near it becomes positively charged, once again opposites attract. In the first experiment both the balloons were negatively charged after rubbing them against the woolen fabric, because of this they were unattracted to each other.

29 Cross-Curricular Reading Comprehension Worksheets: E-2 of 36 What s in Your Cells? Cross-Curricular Focus: Life Sciences Living things eat, grow, get rid of waste products, and reproduce. If you could look at the tiniest unit in any living thing, you would find a cell, because all living things are made of cells. Cells have special structures called organelles that help them do the work of moving materials around, dividing to make more cells, and making proteins for the body s needs. Cells get energy through a process called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, cells convert sugar (called glucose) and oxygen into carbon dioxide (the gas we breathe out) and water. This whole process releases energy for the cell to use. The energy is stored as ATP. ATP is like back up power in storage that can be taken out to be used as needed. That way, the cell always has the energy it needs to take care of business. Living things can have just one cell, or many. Single-celled organisms include things like bacteria, yeast, and algae. They do all the things that living things do, within just one cell. Multi-cellular organisms have literally billions of cells that work together to provide for the organism s needs. Plant and animal cells both have structures called organelles. Many of the same organelles are found in both types of cells, but some of the organelles are unique to plants or animals. All cells have a control center called a nucleus. The nucleus stores a special molecule called DNA. The organism s traits, or characteristics, are controlled by the coding found in its DNA. All cells have a cell membrane, or covering, that surrounds the cell to protect it and control what goes in or out of the cell. Materials can move by diffusion, a process that contains materials in a gas or liquid, or osmosis, a special kind of diffusion that allows water to pass through the membrane, but keeps out many other materials. Plant cells have an extra layer called a cell wall that surrounds each cell s membrane. The cell wall is much stiffer to help the plant s stems stand up and support things like leaves and flowers. Cytoplasm is a thick fluid, kind of like jell-o, that fills the space between a cell s nucleus and its cell membrane. Floating in, and supported by, the cytoplasm are the organelles, such as ribosomes, which make proteins; lysosomes (found mostly in animal cells), which break apart nutrients; the Golgi apparatus ( goal-gee ap-par-at-us ), which packages up proteins to get them ready to be sent to various parts of the body; vacuoles, which are like bags of fluid that cells use to store things until they are needed, or until they can be disposed of; mitochondria, which generate energy for the cell; the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which is a system of tubes and passages for transporting materials, and chloroplasts (in plants only) which allow food to be made using sunlight and carbon dioxide. All the organelles work together to make sure that the cells, and ultimately, the living organism can do all the things that are necessary for survival. Name: Answer the following questions based on the reading passage. Don t forget to go back to the passage whenever necessary to find or confirm your answers. 1) Contrast a plant cell with an animal cell. How can you tell them apart? 2) What is the purpose of this reading passage? 3) Predict what might happen if a cell lost its ability to perform cellular respiration. 4) Cytoplasm has been compared to jell-o. How does this comparison help you understand what it is? 5) What structure in plants allows them to perform photosynthesis? Copyright 2011 K12Reader -

At Mass, during the Liturgy of the Word, we will hear excellent advice for making family life happy and holy. The first reading is from Sirach, one of the Bible's books of wisdom (Sirach 3:2-6,12-14). Sirach writes about how important it is for children to respect their parents. Of course, this implies that parents in turn respect their children. ln the second reading (Colossians 3:12-21), St. Paul advises Christians to bear with one another's faults-to be merciful, kind, humble, patient, and forgiving-good advice for any family. The Gospel (Luke 2:41-52) tells the story of the Holy Family's journey to Jerusalem and shows that Mary and Joseph centered their family life in God. This prayer service can help you to reinforce the good messages of this liturgy with your family. Your Christmas crdche-with the figures af the Holy Family-would make an appropriate gathering spof. Place one ar more lighted candles near the crdche. Have a bowl of haly water at hand for the blessing. Decide which parent will read each Leader part. Ask family members to take turns reading the petitions. Gather at the crdche, light your candle(s), and begin. (Be prepared ta share a treat after the prayer service.) Leader 1: Today, as we celebrate the feast of the Holy Family, let's think about Jesus, Mary, and Joseph and what their family life must have been like. The Holy Family were real flesh and blood people and very much like us. They laughed and played together, enjoyed one another's company and conversation, worked with and for one another, shared meals, and prayed together. They enjoyed one another's successes and comforted one another in times of disappointment and trouble. They were patient with one another. Leader 2: Jesus, Mary and Joseph were called to do all the things we are called to do as a family. Let's ask the Holy Family to be with us in our efforts to be a holy and happy family. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, be with our family always. Help us to be patient, loving, understanding, forgiving in good times and in bad. When someone gets a present... Response: Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, be with us.
