It's Cinco de Mayo, but we've been busy thinking ahead to Mother's Day!

So, we've been work, work, working on our books...

And creating cards for our moms...

And finishing our gifts.

This morning, we also talked about factors in math. You might not be aware that you already know about factors. We've played Factor Capture a few times. Do you remember how? You need to find numbers for the opposing team that have very few factors. 21, for instance, has the factors of 7,3,1, and 21. Hmmm...that's a lot of factors. A number like 31 only has two factors: 1 and 31. We'll play a few more rounds this week.

Please complete page 220 in your math journal as well.

This afternoon, during rotation, we will read in our Matter Splatter books (pages: 20-27 ) and write our advertisement for the Roald Dahl art project. I'll send home the rubric for you.

The last part of the day will be spent in the lab, reading and taking notes on your National Park project.

We can't wait for you to get back!
