We started a class novel study today on The Westing Game.  It is a mystery and im hoping the students find it as interesting as I do.  We did a little bit of pre reading discussion today but hopefully tomorrow we can get more into it.  
We also presented our science activities on animal variations.  It was very interesting and informative to have the students be the teacher.  
In math we worked on powers and exponents.  Most of the students understood the concept but struggled with finding the value of numbers in exponential form. (Ex: 2^3= 2*2*2=8)
Please make sure to check SIS regularly to make sure your child doesn’t have any missing assignments.  They will be held in from Friday Fun for any missing assignments.
Also, the students have earned 10 compliments and therefore have chosen a class reward of 30 minutes electronics time. We’ve decided to do this the last 30 minutes of class on Thursday.  The students are not required to bring an electronic device from home but are welcome to.  They will be responsible for it and it will be kept in their locker until the designated time.  They are also welcome to bring a card game to play instead if they’d like.
