WHOOT -WHOOT!!!

Wowzers!!  Team Hankins is off & running!  As a class, we read a total of 2,072 minutes last night and received our first boarding pass from Bitterroot Airlines (love the name).  We went to the library and got our first book called "The Red Piano".  We watched a short YouTube clip today about it today and now we can't wait to read it tomorrow in character meeting.  Remember to read tonight and keep track of those minutes.  A couple things about the minutes, make sure you initial them and also don't initial until the minutes are filled in.  Using pen/ink for this would be great so minutes can't be added or changed.  Thank you.
Today in math, we compared fractions using a strategy called "criss-cross" multiply.  Ask your child to compare  2/3 & 7/8.  Put it in the planner.
Lead 21 students, you will have time once again to work on your biographies in class tomorrow so have your rough drafts here to use.  I think questions about this were clarified today.  As you can see below are a few pics of our class examples.  Obviously, they don't have fit the exact same examples.  In fact, I heard one of the poster boards is going to be cut out into the shape of a baseball as their person is Babe Ruth.  That is cool and very creative!!!!  So basically, the sky is the limit as to the amount of creativity.
Tomorrow is Library so get those books in.
Have a great night.
