Secondly, I was super excited this morning when the Leprechaun Traps came in. They look very intriguing and inviting - let's just hope we catch a Leprechaun or two this year! Your child will be presenting their trap in science class. Projects not handed in today are considered late (don't forget, the letter went home Jan. 21st!).
Lastly, Tuesday, March 18th is our Celebration of Learning!! It will start at 6:00 p.m. and run until 8:00 p.m. It is a come and go event that I'm hoping all parents will be able to attend with their child. This is a fun event and students always look forward to showing off all of the hard work they've done throughout the year. See you there!
Curriculum:
- Language Arts: Last week we started a writing unit based on the Dr. Seuss book, "The Lorax." This ties in nicely with our new science unit.
- Math: We are just finishing up fractions and decimals.
- Science: We will be starting our "Waste in our World" unit this week.
Link of the Week:
- Big Brainz: Ms. Scheldrup sent the staff a link around about a really neat math website. There is a home element and a school element. Part of it is free, and part of it you need to pay for. Mrs. Samayoa and I were looking into it and watching the videos and thought it looked like a really great way to practice math facts. It's in video game format which makes it really appealing to kids. They can move through the levels learning math all the way. We're deciding whether or not we'll buy it for next year, but I thought parents this year might want to take advantage of it.
