Measure yourself and place a post-it note on the wall at your height. 2. Measure out the height for each ride and place a sticker on the wall. 3. Use the height requirements to determine if you are tall enough to ride. Then subtract to find out how much taller or shorter you are than the requirement. I am ________________ inches tall. Height Can you ride ? Difference in Attraction Name Requirement Yes or No Height Rebel Yell 44 inches Grizzly 42 inches Anaconda 48 inches Woodstock Express 44 inches Flight of Fear 54 inches Loop-da-loop! If you measured using centimeters, would the value be higher or lower than when you measured in inches? Explain your answer. Updated February 2015 © NextLesson 2015 Kings Dominion ANSWER KEY Tippy Toe Time: 1. Students should correctly place a post-it note on the wall at their height. 2. Students should correctly place post-it notes on the wall at the heights of each of the rides. You may have them do this part in groups. 3. Students’ answers in the table will vary based on the students’ heights. • Yes statements will reflect that the student is taller than the requirement. • No statements will reflect that the student is shorter than the requirement. • The difference in height will be either: o Student Height – Height Requirement, if the student can ride; or o Height Reauirement – Student Height, if the student cannot ride. For example: Student height of 38 inches: Minimum Can you ride ? Difference in Attraction Name Height Yes or No height Requirement Rebel Yell 44 inches No 38 - 44 = 6 in Grizzly 42 inches No 42 - 38 = 4 in Loop-da-loop! Students should recognize that the value will be higher because cms are smaller than inches. Updated February 2015 © NextLesson 2015 .

NOTTINGHAM KNIGHT WRITER 5Th Grade 2012-2013
NOTTINGHAM KNIGHT WRITER 5th Grade 2012-2013 Art by Charlotte B. and Charlotte P. Art by Maggie D. An anthology of writing and art Exemplary Project Nottingham Elementary School Arlington, Virginia 1 Advising Editor Jacqueline Jules, Exemplary Project Coordinator Junior Editors Casey Baxter Olivia Joligard Maggie Davis Kara Kovarovics Anna Goco Vittoria Tripi Special thanks to the Nottingham PTA for their generous support! PURPOSE AND VISION: Nottingham's Exemplary Writing Project was carefully designed to develop the writing skills of young authors through the power of publication. When students know their words will be shared with an audience, they are motivated to tdo their bes work. At Nottingham, Grades 2‐5 use the Being a Writer curriculum, in which students explore a wide variety of literary genres including poetry, fiction, nonfiction, fantasy, and personal narrative. Students are encouraged to use sensory details and strong vocabulary in their writing. Carefully selected picture books are read aloud for inspiration. Many students enjoy using these picture books as models to create stories with similar patterns or themes. This magazine was created from writing published online at the Nottingham website throughout the 2012‐2013 school year. Each piece was formatted individually, giving students the opportunity to design their own pages. Junior Editors assisted in making decisions regarding the design of the magazine and collected artwork while serving as ambassadors for the publishing program. The Exemplary Project Coordinator, Jacqueline Jules, is an award‐winning children’s author and poet. A valuable resource, Ms. Jules worked with our Knights to revise and polish their stories for publication.
