Collins & Co. Room 204
Week Thirty-Five (May 25-29th)
Welcome!
Victory to the North! The war is over and the north has won the war as well as the simulation. All the students hard work will be recognized and celebrated next week. Thanks to all your help and support throughout our hands on learning experience.
We will be changing desks next week and back to earning marbles and focus bucks instead of Civil War points.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Ms. Collins and Mrs. Cucco
Math
The next two weeks we will expose the students to some algebra through hands on equations, area of a triangle and some fun mathematical symmetry. (No test on these- they're just for fun and exposure before starting 6th grade math!)

Reading
Writing Workshop
Mrs. Seiget, our district technology coordinator, came in to teach us about iBook Author. This computer program will be a fun new way to publish our work. The kids were excited to learn this new technology and are working hard to see their finished products!
