April 15-19
Just a friendly reminder....
There will be a quiz on Wednesday on our Science vocabulary, students created cards to study over a week ago in class. These will help them prepare for the vocabulary quiz.
**The Math test that was scheduled for this Thursday will be moved to Friday. The topics on the test will be: partial quotient division, measuring angles and coordinate grids.**
Have a great week!

Welcome Back!
I hope everyone has been able to enjoy this beautiful weather this week!
In our Math class, we are learning to measure angles! Currently, the students are measuring using a full-circle protractor and later this week, they will learn to measure with a half-circle protractor.
In Language Arts, the students are working with a reading partner instead of in a literature circle. Currently, they are reading (and enjoying!) Dear Mr. Henshaw by Beverly Cleary.
To read more about our author, learn more about Leigh and other characters that Ms. Cleary has written, take a look at her website: Beverly Cleary Website
Enjoy the rest of the week and read this coming Friday's weekly update for more happenings in our class!

Tricky Tray Class Basket
As many of you know, our very own OCS PTA puts together an amazing Tricky Tray every year! The PTA does so many great things for our school, so it is so important that we help them out with our class basket.
This year's basket is "Hot to the Touch," which includes a lovely fire pit!
Mrs. Frasca has kindly offered to put together our class basket. Many of you have sent in the money to cover the fire pit, however, we could still use some more items to include with it.
Some ideas may include: marshmallows, skewers, blankets, music, plastic tumblers, hot chocolate mix, graham crackers, chocolates (smore fixings)-possiblities are endless and so much fun!
Please send in what you can, it can make a great difference in our class' basket! Also, classrooms with baskets that have a high amount of tickets also get prizes, so our children benefit not only in the long run, but also in the classroom!
Thank you!

Partial Quotient Video
In Math, we are working with a different method of division. The students were introduced to the "partial-quotients" algorithm in class. Take a look at this quick video, to see the method being used to solve a problem. It is a great video and shows how to use partial-quotients, step by step.
Enjoy!
