Dollar Drive

Our class is participating in the

Friends Helping Friends

Dollar Drive for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

during the week of Jan. 26th – 30th

Fill  a baggie or envelope with a dollar (change or paper will do - even checks written to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society) and bring it to class to put it in your class bag –  it is that easy!!!

This wonderful organization is researching a cure for blood cancers!

Every penny counts in finding a cure, thank you for your support!!

Sinking Ship Panels

Today the students were introduced to their next speech... a persuasive panel. They have each been assigned a specific colonial job, however the ship they were traveling on is sinking. The life boats spaces are limited and there is only room for 5 people to be saved. Who will give a speech persuasive enough that they will be saved?

Our Sinking Ship Panels will be on Monday, January 26th. Students were able to collaborate with others to try and create a persuasive speech, though I recommend they continue to work on their speeches this week.

Recommendations: memorize your speech & don't forget the goal is to be persuasive!

With the wonderful rain finally hitting us, we have been forced to stay inside for numerous days in a row. While many of their classmates were busy drawing, reading, and playing competitive tournaments of Uno... Kai, Jonah, and Petar took to creating a pretty awesome card house during their lunch recess. Nice work guys!

Fractions

By Curtis

After Module 2, we have started a new module in math. This module is all about fractions. We will learn about equivalent fractions, making like units pictorially, making like units numerically, and other ways to use fractions. This is a very short module, but is important. Have a happy new module!
