Hello Families! Here is this week's happenings:

Math - We will be revisiting long division this week with a jump into 2 digit divisors. We will also continue do do morning math review of previously learned skills.
Social Studies - Great News! Everyone passed their online 50 state location test with 100%!!! I'm so proud of them! This week, I will send home directions for the state float project and will post a link to some pictures of last year's floats. All the children have chosen a state now to research. We will also be doing a couple of projects on states in the computer lab.
Science - We will finish up our unit on geology this week. We will also learn more about our butterflies, write in our observation journals and do a plant project.
English - This week we will finish up our last two poems for our poetry folder and choose our favorite for our PowerPoint presentation. We will also continue to work on parts of speech, punctuation and capitalization.
*Don't forget that the Egg Drop containers are due on Friday. Mr. Starks has graciously volunteered his time and bucket truck to drop the containers! It will be such a fun event!
*Thank you to those that have donated an auction item or have signed up to donate an item! I GREATLY APPRECIATE it! You can send your donation anytime. The auction is coming up in about 2 weeks.
We still need 2 more Leonardo's volunteers for our field trip. I know it's a busy time of year and many of your work, so I TOTALLY understand. We are just kind of in a crunch because we have to have 1 adult per 5 children to go. I know many of you are trying or have tried to work something out in order to come! Thanks for trying!!
We will be doing a cool project on Friday. We will be constructing marble mazes. I will provide white index cards for the children, but many of the children have expressed interest in making a colorful marble maze like some of my former students have made. If your child wants to make a colorful marble maze, you can find a pkg. of 100 fluorescent index cards at Walmart for $1.88. One package will be plenty. This purchase is of course optional. I know sometimes you get a different story at home.....like the fact that they HAD to have a motorcycle for their Mouse House. I told them that was OPTIONAL too. A couple of my sweet kiddos, I know, told their parents they had to have it. :0 Children! If you only knew the stories I hear at school! Ha ha! I will believe half of what I hear if you will do the same! Hee hee!
*Don't forget to look at the A to Z Countdown Calendar for this week's topics! :)

Hey Mrs. Corderman,
I am confused about the egg project. Are we designing something to put the egg in and drop it 30 feet, or is the egg already going to be in a container and we design around the container to make it unbreakable? Ellie thinks you already have a cylinder to put the egg in. Could you please let me know? Thanks!
She missed our big discussion about it yesterday.:) You are right. You guys design the container and put the egg in a ziplock bag inside the container you designed. Many of the children have been testing theirs out at home first to see if it works. I think that is a great idea! Have fun! It will be an exciting day. You will have to come watch!
what time is the egg drop? can parents come watch?
The egg drop will be at one...ish...right after lunch. Absolutley feel free to come! :)
Oops...I mean absolutely!
