Math - This week we've been focusing on memorizing addition math facts. We've learned tricks for remember +0, +1, +9, +10, doubles and near doubles facts. Ask your kiddo about our fun game - around the world.

Science - We've continued to explore what factors help things float. This week we used clay to try and shape boats that will float and carry cargo. Next week we will use the items students have brought in. Please continue to send in boat building materials indicated on the letter that was sent home earlier this week.

Hamster News - After conducting some research we've discovered we need to buy several things to be ready for our pet. We've started a "hamster fund" to raise money to pay for our pet. Kids calculated that if each kiddo brings in 1, 2, or 3 dollars we can afford our hamster. More to come next week...
