Quick Post Today

Due to a meeting, this is a quick post today.  Just a reminder to those of you that want to use a school recorder for Music to get the form filled out and send your $ and I will make sure Mrs. McKinnsey gets it.
In math today, we worked for a bit on division with remainders and also moved on to geometry.  We drew & discussed different kinds of polygons as well as solid figures.  Ask your child what a 5 sided figure is as well as an 8 sided one.  We discussed the 3 kinds of triangles.  See if they can tell the names of all 3 or at least 2/3 and if they can, write triangle in the planner.  Also we learned about faces, edges, and vertices.  Did you know that there is a formula that helps us to find the number of edges?  It is (F + V)-2 = E.
Tomorrow is the day we are spending our fake money for this quarter.  We are going to do it in the form of an auction.  Students will start over with new money on Tuesday.
Reminder:  No School for students on Monday, January 19th.
Please if anyone has any loose iron filings, please send them to school with your child for us to use with our magnets.
Thank you and have a great night.
