POEM PRACTICE
The students practiced their poems for Music Festival and did a good job. They are ready for tomorrow. Remember to wear white tops and black bottoms.

READING
The students also silent read. The Accelerated Reading Program is now going to award prizes to students who have accumulated points, based on their ZPD Reading Levels. Students will receive points for every AR test they complete. The Accelerated Reading Program strongly reccommends that students read for at least an hour each day. Some of that time is alloted for during school hours but some needs to be done at home for students to be successful readers.

MATH
The students created array posters today and then practiced using arrays to solve multiplication and addition questions.

For example:

XXXXXX
XXXXXX
XXXXXX

can be represented in the following ways:

3 x 6 = 18 or 6 x 3 = 18

6 + 6 + 6 = 18 or 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 18

COMPUTERS
The students started creating a zoo PhotoStory for French. Today we inserted pictures of ten different zoo animals and a beginning and ending slide

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE COMPETING IN THE MUSIC FESTIVAL THIS WEEK!
