Recorders Need to be Here For Music Tomorrow

Tomorrow is recorder day in Music. Students that are bringing them from home must do so tomorrow. If they are getting one from Mr. Goodheart here at school, they already have them. School ones can't be taken home to practice. Let the fun of these squeaky things begin! Good thing is -it is fun to compare them from Day 1 until they have their concert.
We started fractions in math today. If your child can tell you about the numerator & denominator and tell the difference, write fraction in the planner.
We finished our Metric Olympics today with measuring marble grab in grams. Tomorrow we will discuss the activities and wrap it up.
We will also share our persuasive writings with a partner and start practicing for our debate which is going to be next Tuesday with Ms. E's class.
My reading kids researched owls today to build background knowledge for our new read-a-loud which is Owls in the Family. This is a hilarious story and your child will have lots to share about it when we start reading it.
Book Drive: One of our former students who is now at Castle Rock is involved in a project called Two Roads. What he is choosing to do for his part of the project is collect books and donate them to the pediatrics unit at both hospitals here in town. So what a great way to "pay it forward" and help out others. So please donate any books that you have read and want to share and pass on to others. I know I have many books that just sit around so why not share them and let others enjoy them. Go Team Hankins -let's once again do our part to help out others.
Have a great night and remember those recorders.
