Here's The Scoop

     Today is Friday, November 15, 2013 and the weather is getting colder. This week has been good. Just some things, but no big deal. I really feel sorry for Mrs.Walker, she had to write 5 referrals and some kids broke her heart. They 're gonna pay. 

     We've been working hard in Math. We learned new Divisibility rules. An example of Divisibility is by 2, if a number is divisible by 2, it has to be an even number so 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8. We have also learned to find the Greatest Common Factor. In order to find the GFC you need to find all the multiples of the numbers. Then line up all the the multiples and then circle the multiples. The biggest multiple is the GCF. 
     Number of the day is 33. We take a number and find all the ways we can to make the number. We can also draw pictures. 
     Mrs.Binge's 6th grade class is selling snack passes for $1.00.  You get a snack pass if you pay a dollar and you bring a snack. They money they raise goes to Growing Strong and Habitat for Humanity.
     Congratulations to the following students that made the Durfee basketball team; Jahmel, Tyler, Kaderius, Kamilian, Jacobe, and Trelyn. Our first game is on Tuesday at the DISC at 3:45. 
     Our next States and Capitals test is Wednesday, November 20, 2013. I am currently studying to take the nicknames. I am sure I will do a great job. There is a song on Youtube that has been helping us with our states. I really like the song.
      We have also been studying lots of Vocabulary words. Each week we make flash cards, work on sentences, graphic organizers and made videos with our ipads. 
     Our holiday program is December 12 at 12:45. The 5th graders will be singing Jingle Bell Rock and We Will Jingle.
      In Reading we are reading Loser. The book is about a boy that is active and clumsy and really doesn't care about anything. 
     Well that just what's been going on around here.
