Thank you sooooooo much for your donations to our calculator and glue stick cause. So many of you over donated and that was awesome! We have more than enough to restock the supply and make it through the year. A BIG thank you to Casasha's family for bringing in some extras today as well. It was so nice to have a calculator for everyone to use on their mean, median, mode, and range quiz. I am always amazed by how much all of you support our school and kids! All the money collected will go directly back to all 22 kids in the class. Yay!
So many of you have brought in box tops. The contest ends tomorrow. Please make a last minute check around the pantry and cupboards for any other box tops. Thanks!
With all the stuffed animals, gum, candy, pop, technology, pajamas, hats, and so on I was expecting a crazy day. I was so pleasantly surprised that all kids were just so calm and productive. I was so impressed that I gave them a Mr. Potato head compliment, which I NEVER do. They have to get those from other teachers. They were just that impressive. Great kids!
There is no homework tonight. I did offer challenge puzzles to those that wanted them. I just felt like they deserved a night off tonight. However, they do have spelling and states and capital tests they can study for. :0)
Library books and gym shoes are needed for tomorrow.
Kids may bring in their Read A Thon reading logs tomorrow and I will pay up. I agreed to pay $10 per hour of fake money. Thanks.
For a bonus tonight, let's do some more geometry aerobics. Have your kid come over and lay down flat on the floor on their back. Then ask them to make an acute, obtuse, right, and straight angle. They should fold their bodies in different angles. Acute-squished together to make a small angle less than 90, Obtuse, they should look like a couch potato all relaxed on a couch and larger than 90 degrees, right they should look perfectly straight up and out to make an exact 90 degree angle, and straight-they should lay flat on their back with no pillow equalling 180 degrees. We had fun in class making all sorts of different angles with our bodies. Next week, we will bring out the protractors and see how to really measure each of those angles as well. If your kiddo can do these when you say the angle name, write ANGLE in the planner for $10 tomorrow.
Have a wonderful night!
Ms. Erickson
