- Please return the permission slip and sign up to drive if you can.
- 4th grade math: Please spend 10 minutes working on multiplication facts at the Math Magician Multi Maths web site.
- Fifth grade math homework: This week's math packet
Today fourth grade math students learned a new game, Good Times, that students could easily play at home with a deck of cards to practice math facts. Rules to the game can be downloaded here. We also explored a new web site, the Sieve of Eratosthenes, to explore patterns of multiples in a hundreds chart using different factors.
Fifth graders played two games today that focused on shoring up multiplication facts. The first, called Concentration, is a memory game in which students must uncover matching facts (the 9x7 square matches with the 63 square, for example). They also played a game called Multiplication Compare that reinforced the skill of multiplication with trailing zeroes.

Science:
How do light and gravity affect germination (seed growth)?

| Students began two experiments with lima beans to test the effects of light and soil on germination. |

| We will be making observations of our seedlings, turning the tiny plants upside down every 3 days. |
