and clean up all the dust! Boy, it has been a while since I updated our class blog! The holidays were jam-packed with so much fun stuff, I didn’t have time for anything extra!
Can you believe it is already 2010??? This school year is just flying by. Before we all know it June is going to show up, and these kiddoes will be moving on to middle school. They’re going to be ready, though! We are working hard here in Room 15.
Math—we are continuing our unit on decimals. We have been practicing saying and writing decimal numbers, and today we learned that decimals are just another way to write certain fractions. How cool it that?!?!? No extra math tonight—just multiplication facts.
Today we started a Science Unit on forces and motion. We watched an experiment and learned about friction and force, and how friction can affect movement. If you get a chance, ask your kiddo about it! No homework for this today.
We are already back in the groove with Daily 3. Today we only did 2 sessions, since science took a little longer than planned. I forgot to pass out the Reading Logs yesterday, so the kids were supposed to write it in their planner for Monday. They have them today, so homework is read 30 minutes and fill out log as usual.
BizTown is coming and hopefully you have already read/heard a little bit about it. We need MANY volunteers for this amazing experience to run smoothly. Please fill out and return the Volunteer form if you would like to help. Aunt, Uncles, Grandparents are all welcome to volunteer, also! Just let me know!! We will officially be starting BizTown lessons on Thursday—yahoo!
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday break and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Finally 2010!! @_@ im so HAPPY!!
