Math Focus, Science, $$$, birthdays

Hello again,

Math Focus: This week we're working on estimating division quotients (answers).

Science:
For the last two weeks before winter break students are developing science investigations that they will test in school. My investigation will be to answer this question: Which ball will bounce higher: basketball, soccer ball, tennis ball, racket ball? The investigation has two parameters: 1) the materials need to be easily available to you  and 2) it has to be doable in the classroom (or outside the classroom). Kids can work in partners and can start bringing in materials tomorrow.

$$$
I still need 5$ for the holiday crafts from each student. Right now I have about $30 brought in so far. Thank you for those who brought them in.

Birthdays:
We never did our November birthday bash. Maybe we could combine Nov and Dec birthdays for a big holiday bash... Thoughts? Please "comment:" or email.

Happy Winter!
GO DUCKS

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!
