Reactions & Estimates



Hello!

Today we talked a bit about a stimulus and tested our reaction times as a whole group and then individually, with our "Grab-It" activity. The kids will have this for homework, so maybe all you family members will get a chance to see how fast your reflexes are! Kids, what do you think: are you faster, or your family members? :) This is actually just a fun way to collect data, so we can learn how to analyze data and find its landmarks. (What's a landmark, you ask? Maximum, minimum, mode, median, range, etc. Ask your children!)

We also began reading about Christopher Columbus. We will be having a little quiz on Columbus, the Vikings, and map skills next week! Yahoooo!

Tonight's HW is:
1. Study Link
2. Reading Response
3. Most of you need to fix your North America map sheet.
4. Bring in your auction item if it is your week
5. Study vocabulary words for test tomorrow
6. Bring in portfolio items for Mrs. Ardon (if you want to)

See you tomorrow!
-Ms. Medler

Oh, and Jaylene. I am holding your hand for ransom. In order to get it back, you will need to bring me 12,000 brownies.

If Jaylene gives me 12,000 brownies, I promise to share with you. I will give you 1/8 of them. How many is that? (Ooooh! I can make a number story out of anything!)

And I'm not going to NY this weekend. The wedding is next weekend. (That's why I have to take Friday off.) But thanks for the well-wishes anyway!
