Talk Like a Pirate Day

Great day today and it started out with fun in Music with Mr. Goodheart. Yes, it was talk like a pirate day and he had lots of fun music and activities. In fact, we tied this into our nightly writing. Students have to make a treasure map with a hidden treasure. Then they are to write 5 clues for me or another classmate to find their treasure. I am hoping they use some the social studies map skills that we have been learning in their clues. I can't wait to see the awesome, creative maps.

Today in Math we played a rounding game with partners and then took our rounding test. Overall, the kids did a great job and we are moving on to money. Lots of fun games and activities for this concept coming their way.

Tomorrow in PE the students have to run the 800 so make sure they have their tennis shoes for sure. I don't know if they can use IPODs to run or not. In the past, Mr. Ness let them use them, but I don't know if Mrs. Buss will allow it or not. But the kids can bring them and then they can listen to them in here during independent work time for sure. They will have to spend $500 fake money for this buy in and only if they have enough money budgeted for their field trips ($2000) coming up in October. Just like we adults have to budget our money and then use what is left for fun things. So talk to your child about this.
Tomorrow is Zumba in the gym from 6-7 sponsored by the PTA. Please join in on the fun. Your child can ear $500 if you and them attend. See there is the IPOD buy in.
Congratulations to Ilyssa, out student of the week. We enjoyed hearing about you and seeing all your pictures.
