Week 30 and day 124

Late night email……

Today we continued to plug away on the Seaman and Corp of Discovery.  Today we read and learned about their trip from the Bitterroots Mountains through the…….Pacific Ocean.   So we covered the food, the tribes, and the fun riding with stream of water.  

They then rotated to onto science with Mrs. Rodriguez.  They did receive homework due for next Monday therefore check in with them.  

With math we are reviewing topic 11.  Therefore we practiced the term “multiples,” “least common denominator,” “adding and subtracting fractions” and decomposing mixed numbers.

In the afternoon students had the option to work on tonight’s math, work on their birthday party project (due Friday),  Qwertytown, Scootpad, and IXL.com

I do apologize that the handouts for the rest of the week are not yet ready, our “copy machine” has a broken part and the part had to be special ordered.  The rumor is that McGovern may make an heroic cache of copiable things to the district office is the part does not come in tomorrow.  

The April 10th field trip to Intel is on. I will get running on locking down this down later on this week.
