Assembly, Decimals, Movie Reviews, Estuary Animals

Hi Families,

Assembly: Today we had our 10th year anniversary assembly of Forest Ridge being a school. We celebrated our ten years and what we've accomplished. Also during the assembly, the RAH minutes totals for each class were posted in a graph made by Mr. E. C6 read almost twice the amount of minutes of any other class in the school with almost 30,000 minutes. Way to go with RAH C6, keep it up.

Decimals: In math we are learning about how to order and add decimals. You can develop your student's awareness of decimals by pointing decimal numbers you see in daily life. Examples could be: money, sports statistics in the newspaper, weather reports on rainfall, etc.

Movie Review: Students have picked a partner and are writing a movie review of one of their favorite movies. The reviews must include main characters and the plot as well as their personal opinion of the movie. Look for publications on the blog next week. We may even submit our reviews to an online Web 2.0 site.

Estuary Animals: In science we are studying the northwest estuaries. Each student has been paired up to study a specific estuary animal and report on its habitat, appearance, and food sources. They will prepare a Prezi (like the one I did for parent night) to showcase their research.

We still need materials for our rocket launcher. So far we have one 2 liter bottle. Thanks Ayden:)

I'm going to try allowing comments on the blog. If you'd like to make a comment feel free. This is a school so keep it safe. One thought is people could comment on the blog if they have an idea or volunteer for something. Thanks!
