April 18, 2013


Tomorrow's our last day of Spirit week (Superhero day), and the last day of the Penny War!  
Here is the link to the Storyboard maker I showed you today: 
There are some cool storyboard apps that take it to the next level too, where you use pictures and record audio!  :)  Google "Storyboard apps" if you're interested!
Also, here's a storyboard on rock climbing I made while I was in college for an assignment.  Here's the actual presentation.  :)

Homework:
1) Math: Multiplying/dividing decimals/fractions worksheet; both sides (we are in CRT review mode now!): 
2) Read 20 minutes & turn in signed reading log!
3) If you didn't already, complete your How the World Works Assessment!  Click here for the rubric!  Remember, you can choose any format--an essay, a skit, a Prezi--but it needs to be neat and informative!
4) Please bring your permission slips if you haven't already, and a $5 donation if possible!

Items of Business: 
*NEW: We are in need of Clorox Disinfectant Wipes!  Thank you so much! 
*Class Store: If you have any extra soda, candy, trinkets, jewelry, or toys that you would like to donate to class store, please send it with your child! We would like to do one more often to serve as a motivator for positive behavior!
*Leadership Ropes Course Experience:  If you're interested, or have questions, email Mr. White at the Jr. High at Rwhite@providencehall.com.  It's $85 for the week (5th grade is June 17-21).

Upcoming Events: 
*April 15-19: Spirit Week:  Put pennies in the 5th grade jar, and other coins/bills in the other grades' jar for the Penny War!  (pennies count positively in points, and coins/bills count negatively in points).  I hear the winning grade will be earning an incredible party...
