The students copied the following riddle, an answer, and the date.
"Why did the cat sit on the computer?"
MATH
The students used pattern blocks to cover shapes. They realized that if a shape can be totally covered with one other type of shape you can make a fraction. For example:
a hexagon can be covered with 6 triangles and therefore each triangle is one sixth of the hexagon.
The students then did a page of questions labeling fractions.
SCIENCE
The students are starting a new unit of soils. Today we watched a Brain Pop on soils. We learned that soil comes in three basic layers: topsoil, subsoil, and bedrock. Soil that contains lots of humus is darker and moister. Humus is the matter in soil that contains bits of decomposing plants and bugs. Soils may be sandier or have more clay in certain areas.
SHOW & SHARE
Today we heard about favourite events, saw track ribbons, and examined a pair of track shoes with spikes.
ROUGHRIDER PICTURE
The whole school, wearing white shirts, joined UCHS and St. Peter's to create a giant white "S" on the football field. Mr. Soloski and Mr. Feser took pictures from a cherry picker. The mosquitoes weren't too bad and the picture should look very cool.
* The answer to today's riddle is: So he could keep an eye on the mouse.
* Don't forget that tomorrow is Spelling test day.
