Hee Haw!!

Yes, we had a great showing for Western Day today. Way to show you spirit Team Hankins. Fun in math today measuring angles with our protractors. We have mastered that skill and now we are ready to move on to finding the degrees of the unknown angle. For example a straight angle is 180 degrees and the the first angle is 95 degrees, what would the measurement of the other angle be. Answer: 85 degrees. Once we master that, we will draw and label angles of different measurements. Today in Library, they finished their state projects. Ask your child what their project was about and 3 things they learned. If they can tell you, write the name of their state in the planner. Lead 21 started Selection 3 which is historical fiction. Ask your child how about their selection and what time/event in our country's history it is connected to. Write it in the planner. For Read 180/System 44 students on this one, discuss with your child what they are reading in their program and write it in the planner. Worms today-yes we finished reading our fun worm fact books. Why are worms clear in color when born? Write it in the planner. I think they have found to that worms are amazing creatures and so so good for our soil. Talk about one main job they do. Keep studying those midwest states/capitals. Remember to be collecting your pledges or $ if you are participating in the Jump Rope for Heart act. for Mrs. Buss. Just a reminder No School on Monday, March 24th. Also, starting next week, we will once again be taking the MAP tests for Reading & Math. We will be doing ours on Tuesday & Wednesday, March 25th & 26th. I will be helping the students set goals this week so they know what RIT score they want to achieve. These are my favorite tests as they test the students individually and how they grow amongst themselves. So please try not to schedule any appointments on those days in the a.m. Thank you. Recorders tomorrow for Music. Have a great night.
