Hi Parents,
Our focus in math for the remainder of the year will be problem solving. Today's lesson required students to use their knowledge of area to decide how to divide a large sheet of paper into equal 25 squares with the least amount wasted. We saw some really great thinking! Tonight's homework is a worksheet that reinforces the formulas for finding area and perimeter.
In Language Arts, we are in the home stretch of finishing our 5 paragraph reports. All students should be in the publishing phase of the writing process. Reports are due by Friday. Please ask your child if he/she is on-schedule with this assignment. Students have been encouraged to work at home, if necessary.
We have completed Science for the year and have switched over to Social Studies for the remainder of the year. Our focus is regional economies and how they are affected by the available natural resources. We will be working on this topic this week and next.
Finally, please don't forget the Eagle's Run on Friday. Students may wear bathing suits under their clothes, and they MUST wear appropriate footwear--no flipflops or shoes with buckles. Please also send in a complete change of dry clothes, and don't forget to pack your child a lunch unless you ordered one from the cafeteria. The cafeteria WILL NOT be serving at all that day, so there will be no recourse if students do not have a lunch. The picnic will be at 12:15. Parents are welcome to join us for some or all of the festivities!
Have a great evening, and please let us know if you have any questions.
