Week at a Glance
We've had many fun things going on. Here are some on-going projects/activities we're working on:
- #cutout4cs Computer Science mini-module with a cookie theme- I'll have a special surprise for students next week when we finish the module. :)
- Writing letters to my future 3rd graders, giving them advice and telling them about some fun things to look forward to.

This week we also attended the author visit and entrepreneur day- they were both awesome!

Genius Hour Presentations
We will be having Genius Hour presentations next Thursday, May 24th. However, this time we will be having them during the school day. I understand it's a busy time and students have many after school activities, so I don't want to put one more thing on their plate.
Feel free to come check out the projects between 9:45-11:00 on Thursday, May 24th. You don't need to stay the whole time, you can come and go as needed. :)
Pre-Planned Absence Form
I've had several students tell me that they won't be at school on May 29th. Please remember to fill out a pre-planned absence form if your child will not be at school that day.
Rent Club Lunch!
Last Friday we enjoyed pizza and chips for our final rent club lunch! Everyone stayed in the rent club all year!
Chatting with Cynthia Lord
Students catch Cynthia Lord in the hallway and have an opportunity to ask her a few questions.
We are mathematicians!
This wasn't part of the lesson plan, but the question came up "is zero even or odd?" So we took the time to explore and debate!
#cutout4CS
These students unscramble a recipe so a machine can be programmed to make a cookie.
Math and Computer Science is EVERYWHERE!
Students realized a recipe is an algorithm (a set of step-by-step instructions)
The "Sort" of math we like
Students sort icing cards in a way that would be efficient for a machine.
