Notes/Reminders:
* Thank you all for your recent Scholastic book orders! This was one of our biggest orders this year.
* AR goal sheets must be signed and returned- there are still about 3 students who have yet to turn them in.
* Keep an eye out for a fieldtrip permission slip in the next couple of weeks. We will be going to New Brighton State Beach for an interactive history program on Wednesday, May 6th. We won't be returning till after dismissal because it's a minimum day, so pick-up will need to be arranged. All parents who wish to drive/chaperone are welcome.
This week we will...
...continue reading People of Sparks, the sequel to The City of Ember. We do not have a class set, so students are welcome to bring their own copies of the book.
...work more with fractions. This week we'll learn about improper fractions, mixed numbers, and adding and subtraction fractions with unlike denominators.
...practice for the 100 Second Club. We won't be having the regular 5-minute multiplication test for the next week or two while we practice this new multiplication activity.
...begin "Golden Gulch", a whole-class gold rush simulation. Students will be in teams working together to stake claims and mine gold. This is basically like a big board game that involves all students and lasts several days. Should be fun!
