NO MATH HOMEWORK TONIGHT.

I SIGNED THE STUDENTS UP FOR A WEB SITE CALLED MOBYMAX.COM THEY HAVE USER NAMES AND PASSWORDS AND ARE ABLE TO WORK AT HOME TO EARN GAMES, BADGES, ETC. THIS WILL BE USED IN MATH FOR RIGHT NOW BUT THERE IS ALSO ELA AND SCIENCE AREAS TO EXPLORE.

WE WILL BE STARTING CHAPTER 4 FRACTIONS TOMORROW. THE STUDENTS WILL START WORKING WITH PRIME FACTORS AND DETERMINING THE GREATEST COMMON FACTOR OF WHOLE NUMBERS. THESE SKILLS ARE PRECURSORS TO THE MORE ADVANCED APPLICATION INVOLVING FRACTIONS.

I WILL BE STAYING AFTER SCHOOL EVERY WEDNESDAY FOR ANY STUDENT WHO WOULD LIKE EXTRA HELP WITH MATH. JUST SEND IN A NOTE OR SIGN THE AGENDA LETTING ME KNOW IF THEY ARE A PARENT PICK UP OR TAKING THE LATE BUS.

THANK YOU! : )

Supply List for Math and Science

SCIENCE:

PENCILS AND PENS
2 to 3 ONE SUBJECT NOTEBOOKS OR A THREE OR FOUR SUBJECT NOTEBOOK IF PREFERRED. WE USE OUR NOTEBOOKS EVERY DAY.

GLUE STICKS
COLORED PENCILS
YOUR OWN PAIR OF SCISSORS IF YOU WOULD LIKE. MY CLASSROOM SCISSORS ARE SOMETIMES TOO SMALL FOR YOUR GROWING HANDS. (TO BE USED FOR BOTH MATH AND SCIENCE CLASS)

MATH:

LOTS OF PENCILS (IT IS MATH) WITH ERASERS. NO MECHANICAL PENCILS PLEASE UNLESS YOU HAVE YOUR OWN LEAD. I FIND THEY ARE A NUISANCE AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY LEAD TO GIVE OUT.

2 to 3 ONE SUBJECT NOTEBOOKS OR A THREE OR FOUR SUBJECT NOTEBOOK IF PREFERRED. WE USE OUR NOTEBOOKS EVERY DAY.

1 TWO POCKET FOLDER. IT WILL STAY IN THE CLASSROOM AND BE USED FOR MATH FOLDER ACTIVITIES SO YOU MAY WANT TO FIND A UNIQUE FOLDER THAT YOU CAN EASILY FIND.

GLUE STICKS, COLORED PENCILS, AND SCISSORS FOR BOTH MATH AND SCIENCE CLASS

DRY ERASE MARKERS FOR USE ON INDIVIDUAL WHITE BOARDS. I LOVE TO USE THESE AND SO DO THE STUDENTS.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT MANY OF THESE ITEMS WILL PROBABLY NEED TO BE REPLENISHED THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR.
