The Book Fair is under way in our hallway. It will continue until Tuesday. It is a great place to buy books!
The Science Fair will be held on April 26th. Each student needs to contribute a project. Directions and suggestions were handed out in class last week. A student may do an experiment and bring in a tri-fold display board with information (see the handout for suggested layout) OR a student may do a research-type written report and build a model. If you have any questions, please stop by and see me. This is an at-home project.
In Math, we are learning about measurement (chapter 3). Included in measurement are time, inches, feet, yards, miles,ounces, pounds, cups, quarts, pints, gallons, liters, milliliters, centimeters, and meters. A way to help with this tricky unit is to have students tell time on an analog clock, and tell elapsed time--"what time will it be in 30 minute?" or "how much time has passed since 7:45?" Students can help out with measuring when cooking. Simply paying attention to packaging (ounces, liters, pounds) is a good way to make real world connections to this subject.
Lastly, we are down to our last box of Kleenex. Please, if you could help us out, send in a box or two!
Thanks!
