Please come join us for our Gold Rush puppet show tomorrow from 6:30-8:30pm in the Depot. Students
will stay for rehearsal and pizza 3:30-6:30pm.
Script Homework: All students must practice their scripts tonight, and memorize the lines for their main scene. Each child has a script
(and some have several). Please help your child by reading the script with them.
Puppeteer Costumes: Tomorrow students should bring (or wear to school) plain black or dark colored tops (dark grey, navy blue etc.). Please avoid shirts with pictures, large logos or words displayed on the front.
Students should also bring in all of their envelopes with cards and donations for The Walk-a-thon tomorrow, since the Walk-a-thon is this Thursday, the day after tomorrow. They will need a bag lunch for Thursday; there will be no hot lunch that day.
We still need students to return their permission slips (download here) and more parent driver/chaperones for our trip to Sacramento on Thursday, June 7. Thanks to the parents who have already volunteered. We need space for 10 more students, or we will be unable to go on the trip.
Cube Nets
While some students rehearsed for the play, the rest of us explored cube nets, 2 dimensional arrangements of squares that can be folded into cubes. In the problem, a jewelry box maker wants to figure out how many different cube nets are possible. The students figured out that there need to be 6 squares (the company won't allow overlaps) and each square has to share at least one side. They found 8 non-congruent nets, but there are even more! Check out this online Cube Net activity to determine which will make cubes, and how many different cube nets are possible.
