Team Mindcrafters Daily Update - 1-25-17

Parents,

Spelling - This week's list is tricky, as the focus is on silent consonants.  Your child took a practice test today in Spelling City, and the results are being sent home.  I've asked for students missing more than 5 words to get this paper signed and returned to make sure you are aware of his/her need to practice a bit more before tomorrow's test.

Science.  Miss Ryan has started a section of our Ecosystems unit on Fossils.  Students have made fossils out of plaster of Paris and have read about cast, mold, trace, and amber fossils.  Students can play a Quizizz game to review the concepts we have covered so far here:


Sumdog contest.  Our students are entered into a Sumdog contest that runs until Friday.  Sumdog is a great site for students to practice math skills in a game format.  (visit:  www.sumdog.com)  Students who make the countywide leaderboard can earn prizes and recognition.
