Have a great night!

Triangles

Triangles!



We began triangles yesterday and continued today.  Tonight's homework is the area worksheet titled "More Area Problems."  I also gave you a copy of tomorrow's assignment since the day might be a little crazy with the  supplemental CMTs.  Feel free to start working on it if you have the time and patience!  We will work on it tomorrow.

Have a happy Tuesday!

-Miss K  :)

Nice Drawings today!

Have a Happy Weekend; No homework!

If you see Hunger Games, enjoy!  I plan on going this weekend too!

-Miss K  :)

She's scared, but she does it!!!

This fourth grade girl was nervous about a big new ski jump, but she did it and really celebrated after she completed it.  NEVER let your fears keep you from all that you can be or from the adventures of life!

-Miss K  :)

Starting Geometry (again)

Thanks for your participation in today's discussion of Geometry and watching the Mythbusters "Lead Balloon excerpts!


In case you don't know who Led Zeppelin is (they were mentioned in the Mythbusters clip)...  Here's a picture.


There is no homework tonight and we will be getting creative tomorrow in class, so have a nice relaxing night.

If you are off to see the Midnight show of The Hunger Games, enjoy, but don't tell me ANYTHING!  I plan to see it this weekend!

Prognosis Test Today!

I know it was difficult...

I know it wasn't fun...

I know it was confusing...

But, IT'S DONE!!!

No homework tonight!  Have a great evening!

-Miss K  :)

Monsters Inc. is all done!

 

I hope you enjoyed watching the movie yesterday and today!  I know that I did! (All four times!)

As you saw from the notes that went home, we will have a prognosis test tomorrow.  There isn't any studying or preparation that you need to do for this test other than come in well rested and ready to show off what you know.  If you take your time and do your best work, I will get the best picture of what your strengths are!  Use this as an opportunity to show off!  :)


















(problems may be significantly harder than this one tomorrow)



Have a great afternoon and evening!  Enjoy the beautiful weather!''

-Miss K  :)

I hope that you enjoyed Part One of the Movie!

Part Two is tomorrow!  Feel free to bring a snack to munch during class!

-Miss K  :)

Benchmark and Fun

Nice job on the benchmarks today everyone!

If you enjoyed playing Red Remover, I suggest check it out on Hooda Math along with Sugar, Sugar, and the other physics games, logic games and building games that they offer!

Have a great weekend!  Monday should be a fun day! ;)

Here's a hint...  Leave your guesses in the comments!


-Miss K  :)

UPDATE:  The hint explained...  They are the actors that play Sully and Mike in Monsters, Inc.

No Homework tonight...

I hope you enjoyed Mrs. Heimer's story time!



Take the book out at the library if you were intrigued and want to read the rest!

-Miss K  :)

It's been a while...

I forgot to post on Monday and was out on Tuesday so I haven't posted in quite some time!!!

Tonight's homework is to just enjoy the day!  You may or may not know that today is Pi day, also Albert Einstein's birthday.  Click the links to learn a little bit about each of them!  We aren't doing an official Pi day activity, but I have some fun things planned for the next few days though.  You will see when you get here each day!

I'm a big fan of Albert Einstein, so here are a few quotes from this genius of a man...





He was also a goofball with awesome hair!


See...  I'm not the only mathematician with crazy frizzy hair!!!  Imagine what that would look like illuminated by the Smart Board!!!


Have a great night!  Stories in class tomorrow!

-Miss K  :)

The Packet is Done!

All Done!  If you need to finish up any of the packet, make sure it is done for Monday!

Complete the Green sheet for Monday as well!

Have a lovely weekend!

-Miss K  :)

Finish up that big bad packet!

It doesn't seem nearly as bad now, does it?

Tonight you should finish the packet!  Strands 12, 15 and 21 are officially assigned for tonight, but also please complete anything that you skipped, missed or didn't do.  Tomorrow, we correct!





Thank you so much for all of your hard work!

Shame, shame, shame

I forgot to post yesterday...  Sorry!

I didn't post because there wasn't too much to say.  We continue to work on our CMT packet, 3 & 6 last night, 4 tonight.  Be sure to keep working, reading carefully and doing your best!  I am already impressed with your effort and progress!

Delay tomorrow?  I kinda hope so!  We'll see!  Think snow!

CMT prep!

CMT Packet Assignment Schedule:

Mon “A” Day February 27th	Tues “B” Day February 28th	Wed “C” Day February 29th	Thurs “D” Day March 1st	Fri “E” Day March 2nd
Strands 1 and 2 45 problems	Strands 3 and 6 34 problems	Strand 4 47 problems	Strand 7 46 problems	Strand 8 24 problems
Mon “F” Day March 5th	Tues “A” Day March 6th	Wed “B” Day March 7th	Thurs “C” Day March 8th	Fri “D” Day March 9th
Strands 9A and B 24 problems	Strands 9C and D 18 problems	Strands 10 and 11 23 problems	Strands 12, 15 & 21 30 problems	Correction Day

I know that this seems like a whole lot of work, but we’ve already accomplished so much in just one day!  As I promised in class, I have planned our work so that the nights when we have a lot of homework to complete, the problems are easier.  The tougher strands and problems are on nights with less work.  Additionally, we will complete the majority of the packet THIS week since the CMTs officially start next week and I don’t want you to have too much homework that week.  J

I decided to post the homework for these two weeks because I understand that you often have busy evenings and might need to plan accordingly.  I will provide you with class time every day to help you complete these assignments, usually about 15-20 minutes.  You might feel the need to go ahead a bit and that is fine by me as long as you feel confident with the material and continue to work during our class work time.  If you fall behind because of an absence or being unable to complete the homework due to your schedule, that is okay.  However, the entire packet must be completed by the start of your math class on Friday, March 9^th.  If, for some reason (snow day, schedule change, me changing my mind, whatever) that date changes, I will let you know, but for now, assume that March 9^th is the due date!

It seemed like everyone worked well today and felt pretty good about the material.  I promise you that this won’t be as awful and scary as you think it is and you will do a great job.  Ask questions, double check your work and do your best every day!  I can’t wait to put all those 100’s in the 100’s box!!!

Keep up the great work and let’s do some incredible work!
