Word Problem Wednesday

Don't forget it is Word Problem Wednesday! Bring in your math homework for a BUGS sticker tomorrow! Solve the addition problem the same way we did in class today. Either use the 100's chart, or show your 10's and 1's.

SCIENCE: If you have a toy car at home - please bring it in for our next science experiment!

Simple Machines



We have been learning all about simple machines in Science!

Here is a game to play online to help you learn the names of "simple machines!"

Have fun!

Ps. Don't forget to "raise the roof" for Twitch! :)

Have a great weekend!

Welcome Back



Welcome back everyone! I hope everyone had a great two weeks off and got to enjoy spending lots of time with your family and friends! I sure did!


Just a few reminders:

Next Wednesday we will be starting "Word Problem Wednesday"! Your child will have a math word problem to complete at home using pictures, numbers and words! Bring it back on Thursday and get a BUGS sticker!

Also, every morning I have my students do a simple activity during announcements and the first 15 minutes of settling in, attendance and agendas! I have been noticing some students socializing and not getting started right away! So I have made a new rule! If you do not get finished in that 15 minutes it will be homework! I will send it home with "Homework" in highlighter so you know it needs to be returned! Needless to say, after I told them the rule today I had a lot more handed in! Haha!

Also, I will be sending home some work from Term 1. As we get ready for report cards and Term 2, we will be doing some housekeeping and cleaning up!

Thanks so much!

Mrs. Murray :)
