Good Morning! I hope you are all doing well and had an awesome break from “school”. Today’s Ready Common Core assignments are meant to be done online. You can do them in your book first, but make sure you transfer your answer into the Slides Presentation. Then, take a look at what your friends wrote! 🙂

Next week is Spring Break. I will not be posting daily assignments for students to complete. Students may continue on with what we have been doing, however, I will not be monitoring progress.

Please continue to keep yourselves healthy, I will be checking my email so please feel free to reach out if you need anything. We will resume our online learning on April 13th!

Hello everyone. I hope that everyone is doing well and staying safe. I just wanted to let everyone know that I unfortunately had to cancel the Little Caesar Pizza Kit Fundraiser this year. If someone made an online order they will be refunded in 48-72 business hours. If you had paying customers with checks or money please make sure to inform them that we had to cancel this year and refund their money to them when the right time comes. Again I’m sorry that this had to happen. Thank you to everyone that sold kits this year, 5th grade appreciated all your help in sending our upcoming 5th graders to camp. If you have any questions please let me know. I will do my best to answer them. 

Thank you, 

Jamy Sherlock

Happy April Fools Day! Today is a catch-up day so the Reading assignment is the same as yesterday. If you finished it yesterday, you are good to go!

Need a new Game Night game? Try Operations Number Battle. All you need is a deck of cards and these directions:

  • 2 Players 
  • Grades 8+

This is a variation of Number Battle that builds student fluency in operations with rational numbers including exponentiation and mathematical reasoning, revealing the relative impact of each operation on positive and negative operands.

PREPARING TO PLAY

  • Shuffle the entire deck of cards.
  • The Ace holds a value of 1, the Jack holds a value of 11, the Queen holds a value of 12, and the King holds a value of 13. Green suits represent negative integers and black suits represent positive integers.
  • Decide how long the game will last and set a timer. Alternatively, play can continue until one player surrenders or until one player holds all the cards.
  • Divide the cards evenly between the players. Each player keeps his cards in a single pile, face down.
  • Consider keeping a calculator nearby for comparisons involving exponentiation with high card values.

PLAYING THE GAME

  • Each player picks two cards off the top of his pile and places them face up in the middle of the playing area for all to see.
  • Each player chooses any operation to use with his two cards – addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, or exponentiation – and computes the resulting value, aiming for the greatest possible value.
  • If the two players have created expressions with equal value, a battle ensues – each player places four (or five) new cards to form a new expression of the greatest possible value. The player whose new expression has the greatest value collects all the cards in the playing area, placing them at the bottom of his own pile.

Winning the game The player who has the most cards at the end of the designated time period wins the game.

Please check-in with your child and ask them to SHOW you their work that they are completing. Some students are not completing their work even though you and I are telling them to complete it.

I sent an email on Sunday to help you view your child’s progress. I sent it to the email address I have for you in MiStar. Please check your email. If you are using a different email address, let me know so I can update your contact.

I hope all families are healthy and safe during this time.
