Weather Relief Wednesday

I don't want to jinx us, but I think that I see that mysterious glowing orb fighting its way through the rain clouds.Welcome back, Sun. It's the end of May and we have been expecting you.

GTK
-Field Day has been scheduled for June 3. This means that we will push back the Energy Robot due date a day or two. I will keep you posted.
-We take the Math MAPS test this Friday.
-We will continue with our regular math curriculum next week, which means that we will review Chapter 12, test, and continue on the Chapter 13.
-All of the material from Chapter 13 has already been covered in class. We have been pushing in this learning during our regular math time and during our morning warm ups. I wanted to make sure that all of the Grade 4 material was practiced before end-of-year testing. These last few weeks, we have been reviewing and pushing forward with more advanced material.
-I will be posting a pdf of Maniac Magee on the website so that kids can read ahead and use the book to help with homework. We have hard copies in class, but I want to hold on to them!


This evening at home...
-complete the Chapter 13, one-page review sheet. We have covered this material in class and have had lots of practice with area, perimeter, and using formulas

-Read for 30 minutes or more and bring a confirmation note.  Parent, please send me this confirmation! Email works too.

Check out these videos about area and perimeter and volume and yes, how to find the area of a triangle.
