Other HOMEWORK
4th Grade Math: Students are working on their Dream House Project this week. Most students made the first deadline requirements, but some brought it home tonight to work on. PLEASE remind your child to bring the project back tomorrow. We will work on it in class.
Overnight EARLY DEPARTURE: Please arrive to TBS no later than 8:00am on Thursday (drivers, please arrive before 8:00, and park near the pick up area). We must leave by 8:15am. Please call if you are running late: Jeff, 510-517-2359. LATE RETURN: 4:30pm on Friday.
Math Club: The last day of 3rd-5th grade Math Club saw many returning members and quite a few new 3rd and 4th graders as well. Students engaged with Strimko & Mondrianize-It puzzles, experimented with Ring-a-ring of Numbers, or played the game Odd Tic Tac Toe. Logic puzzles continued to be hugely popular with the students--some took packets home, and I recommend the Perplexor series for those who would like to continue working on them over the summer. Too bad we had a shelter-in-place drill and missed out on our planned game of Skunk. But we did celebrate with math cupcakes, and successfully solved the very real life problem of sharing 13 cupcakes among 15 students!
How to practice your lines for the play: Have a partner read the lines just before yours to learn your cues. Practice being expressive!
Summer Math Review: If you are looking for summer math resources for your student, the following is a link to workbooks designed for review of concepts in mathematics by grade level. Each section has explanations and examples designed to help students review material at their grade level. The pages are set up to not be overwhelming, and generally focus on one concept at a time.

Props for the play: The students are encouraged to bring in props they will need ASAP. We'll be putting costumes together next week.
