Team Mindcracfters Daily Update - 3-10-15

Dear Parents,

State Testing.  Students only have their final mid year state test for Math (Part 2) this week.  Mr. Pransky and Mrs. Dressel's homerooms will be tomorrow while Mrs. Vanderstelt's homeroom will take theirs on Friday.

Math homework.  The students' math homework tonight is to watch 2 Learn Zillion videos and complete the packet that goes with it.  The videos will show a method of long division called the partial quotient method. This is a method for dividing which is very different that the traditional method that most of us probably learned in school.  I already told the students that I wanted them to try their best on the problems in this packet after watching the video.  If they have difficulty with it, that's okay.  We will go over these problems at school using this new method.

Reminders:
  • Annual Powerhouse 5K/1K run forms went home last week
  • Yearbook orders are due
  • Blood drive - see form in your child's take home materials to register to donate or volunteer
  • Library writing contest - see flyer to participate in this contest
