Probability

No, we are not gambling!
The students are using the cards to find out the probability of turning over face cards. Yesterday, we rolled dice to find probability. Oh my, it does sound like we are gambling. :))

Read - A - Thon

Many students (and their teacher!) participated in Pajama Day today.  We had a Read-A-Thon from 8 - 9. 


There will be a Vocabulary Test on the 27th.  The students were given the words today.

On Monday I taped a blue envelope with some special instructions inside of it. Please send the envelope and note for your child back on Monday.

I hope all of you have a super weekend!

The Amazing Race

The students had a fun time yesterday solving math problems with a partner. The teams used iPads to scan math problems. They then took the iPad to a spot in the room to work out the problems. Students could not move on to the next level until the set of problems was correct. Josh and Stephen worked so well together and showed great teamwork. They were the winners of our Math Amazing Race! This was a different and exciting way to review for our Math Staar test.
