GREAT DAY TODAY 6A & 6B!!!!! Math and Science class were both lots of fun, I thought, and I hope you are working on your checkerboard problem as we speak!!!!!

In Math today we started on our SLO#3 - problem solving and I was impressed with all of the strategies you were able to share. We did a few word problems on the smart board and then I blew your minds with the checkerboard problem. Actually, it isn't as hard as it first seems, especially once you have a strategy in place and you figure out the PATTERN! Remember to "think outside the square", fill in the entire sheet and be prepared to explain your strategy tomorrow in class. To get a donut you must not only have the correct answer but be able to explain how you got it as well.

In Science we jumped ahead a bit and started on our SLO#6 - leaf classification - so you could get some "hands on" experience before it all falls to the ground and blows away! Be sure to review your notes tonight and start looking for concrete evidence of everything we drew in class!

ADVISOR CHALLENGE TOMORROW - and it's the final one so if you want a pizza party you'd better get your game on and be ready to blow up, tie and pop balloons...let's do this!

Also, FUNDRAISER COLLECTION DAY TOMORROW - bring in your money and we are close to winning pizza there too but I think Fyfe's class is just ahead of us so SELL MORE NOW!

Lastly, we have started flag football in PE and we are outside for this unit so bring appropriate gym clothes and your water bottle because once we are outside we are staying out until it is time to change. You guys were great out there today!!!!
