Lots to Remember For Tomorrow

Yes, lots to remember for tomorrow. It is our field trip to the NILE so dress for the weather. Also, it is Pack the Place in Pink. Wear lots of pink. Free money for those who do. Wednesday is Heritage Day. According to my little poll on the Sunday blog, the majority of you said you could be ready for Wednesday so that is the day from 10:00-11:45 or however long we need. Remember this is only for the regular classroom reading kids. As we talked today, it can be anything that resembles your family's heritage like music, dance, food, art, games, history, etc. The students need to be prepared to get up in front of the class to share the history part of whatever they are doing. For example-if they bring a food-they need to know what culture it is from, do they have a special time during the year they have it or for certain celebrations, etc. If they have pictures or games they need to be able to tell about them and how it is part of their family culture. Does this make sense? In other words, they can't just put pics up and say this is my great-great-grandpa or this is German Chocolate Cake. If you have questions, please call or email me. Thank you. Today in math, we played around with learning different strategies for computing numbers and doing mental math. They were "break a parts", compensation, or the traditional algorithm. Ask their favorite and put in the planner for free money. In Science, we started the Water Cycle. The fun song we are using to go with it is on my website list on the side of my blog. Have fun singing it. Have a great night.
