Team Mindcrafters Daily Update - 2-11-14

Parents,

Math.  This week student are venturing in to the world of "long division."  As I mentioned before, students are using a different algorithm or system of solving division problems than you may be accustomed to from when you learned to divide in school.  While this may seem foreign to you, it is a method designed to build a stronger base of understanding for the process of dividing.  Don't worry!  We will learn the standard algorithm as well later in this unit as well.

Science.  This week we will be learning about fossils and how they give us clues about living things from the past.  On Thursday we will make our own fossils using plaster of Paris.  

Have a great night,
Mrs. Dressel and Mr. Pransky
