11-13-12 Daily Update

Parents,

A delicious day of learning today!  A big thank you to Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Miller, and Ms. Fry for their help with the "ice cream in a bag" activity during science today.  Students got to make ice cream using a metric units recipe.  Don't be surprised if they want to try to make this at home, too!

In Math, students worked on an independent learning activity about factors and multiples of numbers using Learn Zillion videos.  We will continue with later this week.  The set of videos can be found here.


Your child has upcoming tests in Science and Social Studies.  (See below for more info.)

Reminders:
  • Math challenge slips can be completed each day for prizes from the office
  • Turn in recorder $ or bring in one from home
  • Bring in Canned goods for food drive starting Nov. 12
  • Nov. 16 - Team Spirit Day  Wear you favorite team colors
