We have started our unit on decimals. This week we began with reading and writing decimals, and representing them using base ten blocks. Next week we will work on rounding, before we move on to adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. So much fun! Here are some games students could use to practice.

From Nurse Lovell
If you would like Nurse Lovell to send home a paper version of the survey, just let her know.
The Franklin-Randall Wellness Council would like to find out how staff and families feel about different snack recommendations and how the snacks are collected. We would like to see what works best for staff and families. The goal is to develop guidelines/suggestions for our schools on how snacks could be handled in a way that promotes nutrition, food allergy awareness, cultural sensitivity, and is realistic / easy for families and staff.

Science- Environments
We started our unit of study on Environments last week. We have begun with a study on Water Tolerance. We are testing four different kinds of seeds, corn, barley, peas and radishes, to see how they tolerate differing amounts of water. We used dry soil, moist soil, wet soil, very wet soil, and swampy soil. They grew so much in the first five days. Ask your child about how their groups seeds grew. Which seeds were the most tolerant? Which seeds were pickier about the amount of water they liked or could handle. Here are some great pics of our outcomes so far.
Social Studies Chapter 11 Loyalists Vs. Patriots
In chapter 11, students examined six prominent colonists, who were either Loyalists or Patriots, and we discussed their differing points of view. Students then wrote paragraphs about what a Loyalist and Patriots were, what they believed and why. They then wrote a paragraph explaining which they would choose to be, a Loyalist, a Patriot, or maybe one of the neutral colonists, who agreed, and disagreed, with both sides. Here are some examples:
