Tonight's Math Homework

The homework tonight has a tutorial side which shows standard algorithm for solving multiplication. We have not taught this method, but have taught area model, distributive with partial product and box method. All of which can be found in your child's math journal. Please have them use one of the methods we have taught to complete tonight's homework. Sorry for the confusion. 

Outside Recess

I am sure that you have seen the news and been outside. There have also  been a few weather advisories regarding the smoke in the air. Today and until it clears up a bit, we will be having indoor recess. I just don't feel comfortable having the kids outside running around and breathing in all the smoke in the air.

If you are interested in participating in the science fair, please investigate the guidelines .  Sign-up packets will be available on Thursday, December 1^st, however, you may start your project at any time.  Remember to keep a journal of your discoveries!

If you are interested in participating in the science fair please read below.

Each science fair project must consist of a student led scientific investigation (following accepted scientific methods) and a display to present the investigation results to judges and other science fair attendees.  Presentation guidelines will be given at a later date.  Biological and zoological projects will not be accepted.  We are STRONGLY encouraged to not allow students to experiment with molds or bacteria of any kind, as these can be particularly hazardous to student health.  Models, including volcanoes or robots, will not be accepted as experiments.
Parents are encouraged to guide students but not build the project.  Remember a good project is planned and developed over a period of time.
