Wall displays are up. One for the Veterans and one for Bully Strategies. Yay!!! Here is a glimpse, but stop in and see them by the library at anytime. :0)
Don't you just love the red poppies on their uniforms. Awesome! Espen also got a special gift yesterday from a veteran. We will take a look at it tomorrow at fly time. :0)
Tonight's homework is an RLJ half page letter to Mrs. Grewell. Kids also may bring in any kind of fruit to dip into caramel (melted) after our science experiment tomorrow afternoon. Optional homework is three by two multiplication crossword. This is a 5th grade skill. They may use any method (except using a calculator) to solve them. It is totally optional, but if they took it…they have to at least try it.
In math today, we started LONG DIVISION!!! WooHoo! We learned all about the royal family. Daddy-divides first, Mommy-multiplies second, Sister-Subtracts third, Brother-Brings down fourth, and then the dog named Rover repeats or remains. Only Daddy gets to sit on top of the royal throne. The rest of the family sits below him. The dog sits at his side when he is done playing fetch. Crazy…but it worked. 85% of the kids were able to master one on their own. Have them try showing you and walking you through the royal family steps for 534 divided by 5. If they at least try to show you, write ROYAL in the planner for $10 tomorrow. We will continue to practice this for a few more days. We will also move onto area and perimeter in the mean time. So big they are getting!!!!
Have a wonderful night!
