And all the sweet serenity of books”

Word Study
Math
This week the 8:00 math group will be learning how to find numbers that will fit into an inequality, such as p > 6 where p could equal any number that is 6 or greater. The students will also be using algebra to complete function tables. They will then use the data from the function tables to graph points on a coordinate graph.
This week the 9:00 math group will finish up their work with division. They will be reviewing the various ways to divide whole numbers and decimals. By midweek, they will begin learning about exponents and square roots.
Announcements/Reminders:
Next Monday will be the Gebhardt Celebration of Learning. It will start at 3:30 and end at 6:30. This is a chance to come in and see some of the work that your child has been doing this year.
Please be sure to send back the photo packets that were sent home last week. You can keep and purchase the photos that you would like. The payment and remaining photos should be returned to school. Thanks!
We are in need of more Clorox wipes. If you are able to donate a container, our messy desks would really appreciate it!
