 Hi parents,

We had another busy day today with lots of building. The students finished their buildings for our community project, and painted them too. Tomorrow we're going to put it all together!

In math, we did some addition and subtraction word problems, in preparation for our quiz tomorrow. Based on what I saw today, the class is ready to go! I told the class I'd put some homework up, so here it is. These are questions the kids made up.

BLOG HOMEWORK (+1 TABLE POINT per question (max 3 per person))

Mac has 12,345 cookies. She eats 3,492. How many does she have left?

A pizza costs $3.75, and a BIG Pizza costs $5.30. How much would they cost together?

The Pink Power Ranger has 44 Math Books. She writes in 22. How many books did she not write in?

The Giant has 7,502 pens, and he finds 88 more. How many pens does he have now?

Mr. Link has 4,936 books. He drops 1,956. How many books does he still have?

Thankfully the students are not being marked on 'realism' for this one.

We did an experiment to show how a glacier melts to form rivers and lakes. We brought some hard packed snow into the classroom and put it on a slanted board, to represent a glacier high in the mountains. As it melted, it was interesting to see how it had picked up pebbles, and 'dropped' them off along the slope.

In the afternoon we did more work in math, and students who finished early wrote sentences for their spelling words.

We ended the day with Music.

Have a nice night,

Zac
