Thurs. Mar. 12

Thursday March 12

This morning we learned about a new division strategy. We learned about the Box Method.

We also did book club and some catch up. We worked on finishing some science from yesterday about levers, social studies posters, and sunflower art.

This afternoon we learned more about levers. We talked about how the closer the fulcrum and the load are, the easier it is to lift things. We also learned that the longer a lever it, the easier it is to lift things. A really efficient lever would be a long lever where the load and the fulcrum are close together.

Reminders
- Field Trip Forms
- We NEED volunteers for our field trip. If you are available to volunteer, please return the volunteer form being sent home. If you are available to volunteer, but do not have a valid police clearance, please see Mrs. Pinkett in the office. She will explain the process to you.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
- Parent Teacher Interviews have been postponed. Please watch for an email from Ms. Bartel tonight.
