Tomorrow is early release. \u00a0Please know that school will end at 12:30.<\/p>\n
We are also having our first celebration tomorrow. \u00a0The students earned 75 paws, which got us our first medal. \u00a0For our celebration students decided we would watch a short film, followed by some board game time. \u00a0All the while we will be chewing gum. \u00a0Make sure you get all of your homework finished, as students who have outstanding homework will instead spend celebration time working on that.<\/p>\n

This morning we did more work with decimals and multiplying simple fractions by whole numbers. \u00a0We continued discussing how we can take numbers like 3.4 and think of it as 3 and 4\/10 or 3 + 4 x 1\/10 in order to solve different problems.<\/p>\n
Tonight students have a few more equivalencies to write. \u00a0I wonder if tomorrows quiz is going to look JUST like this…<\/p>\n
formsofdecimalsandfractionssep8<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We continued our talk about explorers (or should we call them exploiters?) today. \u00a0It’s interesting to get students’ ideas about these individuals. \u00a0Student images of them are usually pretty positive, and often people\u00a0see their contributions to the modern day as good things. \u00a0However rarely were they motivated by a love of humanity or knowledge. \u00a0When we get down to it, many of these individuals weren’t exactly the best of people.<\/p>\n Tonight students should finish the questions that go along with our reading.<\/p>\n ageofexploration<\/a><\/p>\n In science we took a good look at our gardens. \u00a0A few of our seeds have not yet germinated. \u00a0This means we will replant some of them tomorrow. \u00a0We also started measuring. \u00a0We decided that we can use string to measure the plants from soil to tip of stem.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Finally we spent a good amount of time today organizing our math manipulatives. \u00a0They have turned into a great big pile of messes, and we sorted and organized them today. \u00a0It’s funny how much the students enjoyed this. \u00a0I’m fairly certain none of them go home excited about cleaning and organizing their room, or folding their clothes. \u00a0However when it comes to sorting play money into bins or putting pop cubes in bags, they are having the time of their lives.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n so, tl;dr<\/p>\n Finish some math equivalencies:<\/p>\n formsofdecimalsandfractionssep8<\/a><\/p>\n Finish the questions that go with our reading:<\/p>\n ageofexploration<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And as always, read and get your reading log signed!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Have a good one,<\/p>\n -Mr. Potter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tomorrow is early release. \u00a0Please know that school will end at 12:30.
