November 28, 2011

Welcome!  I hope everyone had a great week-end with the beautiful weather!
In math this week, we will continue working with decimals.  We will review adding, subtracting, and multiplying, then we will work on dividing with decimals as well.  There will be a short quiz on Friday to show what we know!  It will be on the four operations with decimals.
We are going to start our research projects on Christmas Around the World.  We will get our groups and countries finalized on Monday, and then BEGIN!  I have the library booked for Tuesday and Wednesday to give all groups time to do some research in books and encyclopedias before we go to the computer lab.  I expect each group to use a variety of resources.
We will be reviewing microscopes on Monday, and then students will be given time to practice using them.  We will start our lab on Thursday (perhaps Monday depending on our skill).

Dates to remember...
Monday, Nov. 28 ~ students are welcome to go in the Santa Parade with the Athena Float
Tuesday, Nov. 29 ~ Early Morning Band
Wednesday, Nov. 30 ~ 2nd needle for girls (HPV)

Have a great week everyone, it sounds like a good one!
