PARCC

There was PARCC today. Thank you, Ms. Davison, for bringing us heavenly banana muffins! Tomorrow is PARCC again, so work hard! Keep thinking about a replacement for the glider!

 We are learning about adding fractions with a different denominator.

 

 

PARCC

PARCC is tomorrow, so remember to work hard. Today we practiced for the ELA test. Get a good night's sleep and have a healthy breakfast. You may bring gum from home, but only one piece.

 Also, collect money for Pennies for Patients. Our class goal is $250. Please help to make that happen!

Measurement

Today we focused on why units of measurement are useful. We discussed how there are different units for different things we're measuring. We thought about what would happen if we switched from the standard system to the metric system. What would be good? What would be bad about it? We were also measuring a wood chip, a checker, and a metal disc. We started measuring with paper clips, then grams. The paper clips were different sizes and so it wasn't accurate.

Upcoming Events

There is so much happening here at Muddy Brook!

  PARCC testing is coming up, so remember to work hard!

  Pennies for Patients is also almost here, so collect money! Remember, all the money you collect will go to helping kids with blood cancer. With your donation, you will save kids' lives! 

   We are replacing the glider on the playground with a safer piece of structure.

Fractions

We have started our new fractions unit. During math, we played memory match, finding pairs of fractions, and figures or pictures that represent the fractions. We are also working on drawing different ways we divide figures into fractions and learning about equivalent fractions.

Also, remember its our readathon! Read, read, read and record!

Parcc

Today we were practicing our Parcc test. We read a passage about horses that lived on islands. 

Acrobats

Today we went to the Mahaiwe to see the Golden Dragon Acrobats. They did crazy tricks on chairs, juggled with their feet and much more.  The acrobats showed us lots of tricks that required strength, focus, and perseverance.  It was a spectacular performance!

Circus

In P.E we are starting a circus unit! Together we are putting  a show for the parents.Tight rope, stilts etc. Groups will work together to perform a routine. We will be presenting it on Literacy Night.
