Great Day Today!





We had a great day today from start to finish. We were treated to a superb performance by the Heights Girls' Honor Choir. Wow-they did a fantastic job. I am so proud of all of them, but especially our very own Megan Zimmerman and Cora, Ramsey, Alex, and Cassidy from Ms. Erickson's class. Way to go girls.
In READ-A-LOUD we had so much fun reading about Wol and his little antics. Ask your child about that crazy owl if they are in my reading class.
In Science, we watched the movie "Blows Its' Top which was an entertaining movie about volcanoes. The best part was the pop rocks we got to have explode in our mouths.
Tomorrow is our States and capitals test. I know they are ready. If they can rattle all 11 off for you tonight, write READY in the planner.
In Math, we went over our Fractions test. The students were able to see the silly mistakes they made and we talked about how they need to work out all the problems and not just guess. Some students were given an extra practice packet to work on at home to help them with the skills as we have to move on in class and now it is time to put forth the effort at home. I want them to work on no more than a page/day. Hopefully after the extra boost, they will be proficient in these areas.
Remember PE shoes tomorrow.
Have a great night.
