Number Drummer!
This morning we had a REALLY neat assembly in the gym. Our students learned about keeping beats, rhythm, and how essentially everything is based on math. The students were given different types of sticks and then made some music. It was super interesting and I hope the kids got some new understandings and a newfound appreciation of music and math.
Again this morning students had to solve some challenging math problems, and then one at a time explain their thinking, their process, and their answers. Every single student was able to do this. I was quite impressed.
After our assembly we looked at our science review sheets, and talked some about weather. We made some clouds in a bottle again, as some students had forgotten about high and low pressure systems!
Ask your student if they remember what high pressure and low pressure systems indicate! (high = clear, low = cloudy)
Tonight students should pick EIGHT words from their review packet or their journal, and write definitions for them in the back of their science journal. This should bring their weekly total to twenty words.
In math we received a review packet. We will examine this packet in great detail tomorrow and next week. It essentially covers everything that we have talked about this year. Tonight students should do the first four pages. They received plenty of time to work on this in groups and ask questions, so hopefully they don’t have much left to finish.
At this point it was already time to leave. The assembly made today seem extremely short.
Read tonight!
Have a good one,
