Hi Parents! We hope you had a fantastic spring break and are excited to be back at school for the 4th quarter. 8 more weeks to go!
This week in math, we're beginning a new chapter focusing on multiplying fractions. Tonight's homework is page 459. If your child is having trouble, please encourage them to log in to "Think Central" and watch the video for 8.1.
In Language Arts, students are getting to the final stages of producing their poetry anthologies. We hope to wrap them up this week and to have students presenting within the next week or so. We are also continuing to work on our research skills via our Zombie PBL project. Please ask your child to explain the project and let you know his or her progress.
Finally, this week is STEAM week, so we're working on an electrical engineering project designed to encourage students to think creatively, allow them to practice persistence, and to give them the opportunity to apply what they've learned about electricity to a real-world problem. We began by gathering background information today, and students will plan and build their projects throughout the week.
Don't forget the following upcoming events:
4/18: Spirit Night at Wendy’s on base, 5:00-8:00pm
4/20: Static Display Night, 4:30-6:30pm
4/27: Coffee Chat with Special Education ISS, DFO Training Room, 9:30-11:00am
4/27: Parent Performance for Multi-age 6:00 pm
4/28: CCR Staff Development Day – No School for Students
Have a great evening!
