Science was crazy today creating lots of static electricity. We were sticking balloons to walls, standing hair up on end, and going around "shocking" each other around the room. We decided that creating static electricity with our "low" pile carpet in the classroom is way different than when we do it at home on higher piled carpet. Ask your child what 3 kinds of charges atoms can have, it they can tell you, write atoms in the planner.
In Math today we learned about volume and how to find volume with the formula -LxWxH. Once again we were reminded of the importance of knowing those multiplication facts. We continue to work on 2 digit x 2 digit multiplication and division with remainders. Please Please take about 5 minutes each night and have your child do 1-2 problems of each skill. This will so help them build their confidence. Like I said before, we are not going to spend lots more time here at school practicing. I am taking some of their computer time to give them some extra practice with my help, but then they are missing these important skill building opportunities.
Remember the Science Night on Friday from 6-7:30. Free money to those that go and learn some fun, new exciting things.
Also, remember to join us for Terrific Kids/BUG on Friday at 2:00 if your child is receiving an award.
Have a great night and get out and enjoy this amazing weather.
