Wow!  Another week completed.  It is becoming more and more important to stay on task as review of old skills is replaced by introduction of new skills.  Math is moving quickly now with the introduction of multiplying fractions and conversions.  I try to allow as much time as possible for students to work on assignments in class to allow the opportunity to ask questions if needed.  Math facts still seem be an obstacle for many.  There are many free programs to practice multiplying on the internet.  5 minutes a few times a week will make a big difference.

 

 

     Students were asked to measure the "ocean" bottom this week. It takes organization and responsibility to the team to get the job done.  We had 4 examples of ocean bottoms to map.  The students needed to discovery a  strategy to accurately describe the ocean floor.  The conversation in the classroom was very interesting!

 

     Friendship Day is on Thursday.  We don't have school on Thursday or Friday because of state wrestling so the students will celebrate on Wednesday.  We will make our bags at school to collect any valentines that will be shared.  I do want to remind you that if you are sending treats, please make sure they are peanut free.

 

    Have a great weekend!  Keep an eye on the sky if you are traveling on Sunday!
