Word of the day: copasetic
This was the final day to collect for our school's Haiti fund raiser. We counted the money that our class raised and are very proud of ourselves, as we collected $95.20!! Thanks so much to everyone who supported this great cause!
Reminders:
1. Spelling due Thursday
2. Math due tomorrow
3. Skiing tomorrow - bring lunch and ski clothing/gear. If you're using sunscreen, please apply it at home.
Homework tip: If anyone is having trouble figuring out the math fractions problems, try drawing a picture of the students. (Just use circles or squares to represent the students.) Draw all 24 students. Then, if you're talking about 1/4 of the students, decide how many groups of students you'll need. (You'll need 4 groups if you're talking about fourths.) Break the students into the 4 groups. Each group will be one fourth. So 1/4 of 24 students is 6 students. Similarly, if you're talking about 1/6 of the students, you'll need to divide the students into 6 groups. If you're talking about 1/8 of the students, you'll need to divide the students into 8 groups. Hopefully the pictures will help!
Head scratcher of the day: Tie a knot in a string by holding one end in each hand and not letting go with either hand. It's possible! See what you can come up with!
