Homework for Tuesday.

Parents,

I would like to sometimes assign the students homework by way of our class blog. Basically that would just mean watching a short video or reading a blog entry, and then making a comment on that entry. I am placing a new Poll on the right sidebar of the blog for you to let me know how you feel about this. In the meantime, I'm asking the students to do the following for homework tonight:

3D Students,

My favorite thing about our Smartboard so far is all the many activities I have found online that we have been able to use in class. I especially like when we can pull up the pages from our Math textbook and then write on top of the page on the Smarboard to work out each problem together. That is way cool, and much more exciting than just looking in our textbook!

INSTRUCTIONS: Please click on the link below that says "COMMENT," and answer the following prompt using complete sentences: What is your favorite thing so far about our Smartboard?

Coming home today...

Today you child should bring home:

1) A letter & envelope for a program we have joined through Gamestop in which we earn technology $$$ for our school by recycling old video games;

2) Picture envelopes with your child's proof (unless your child was absent on picture day);

3) Family Internet magazine

I hope you have a wonderful and restful weekend! Be sure to keep washing hands frequently to stop those germs from spreading! Take care,

Mrs. C.

Field Trip Postponed!

Our Bowling Field Trip has unfortunately been cancelled due to the Swine Flu going around. As soon as the date has been rescheduled, I will let you all know.

Thanks for going with the flow during this time! The end of the year is always a bit stressed, and the flu is just adding to it! Luckily, we made it through the TAKS tests!

Thanks a bunch, as always.

3D's How to Multiply Video

Please check out this video our class made together that shows us how to multiply 2 digit x 1 digit numbers AND 3 digit x 1 digit numbers! We had a lot of fun trying out our awesome SmartRecorder!

Field Trip Reminders

Paper copy will be coming home tomorrow, but here are a few reminders for Friday's bowling field trip:

*We'll leave the school around 8:45 am.
*We will have lunch and recess at Kid Kountry from approximately 12:00-1:00.

IMPORTANT:
***Your child needs a sack lunch, a drink, and a snack (disposable items are preferred). The snack must be separate from the lunch, as these things will be traveling separately. =) Also, please CLEARLY LABEL each of your child's pieces with his or her name.

***Your child should wear a Lakeside shirt or a red shirt if possible.


I think that's it for now! Thanks so much, and we will get some fun field trip photos posted when we can!!
