Math and Science News
This week we have furthered our math skills with some multiplication competitions. We have also been working on a project that combines math and science. Students broke into groups and are designing a zoo. They are using information given to them to decide how big each habitat needs to be to accommodate at least 2 animals of each species. They need at least 10 different animal species in their zoo along with a few bonus things (restroom, splash pad, concession stand, gift shop, etc.). Students are also taking into consideration the accommodations of each type of animal’s habitat, plants they may need, and controlled climates.
Next week we will further their zoo by designing an advertisement for their zoo, designing t-shirts to sell at the gift shop, and/or designing a commercial for their zoo. I hope they will enjoy this fun adventure using their math and science skills.

Awards Day
Awards day will be held on Thursday, May 30th at 1pm in the gym. This is not a promotion ceremony therefore everyone will not be recognized. Mrs. Benson sent emails to her homeroom families on Thursday if their child was being recognized. Ms. Bodrick will message her homeroom families before Thursday.
