We BELIEVE!!!!!!

Wow! We are ready for our EOGs and I am so excited because I know we will show what we know and do a fabulous job!!!
We have talked a lot about staying positive and calm and getting rid of the negative vibes, but I know some of us are still a little nervous.
Here are some things that might help:
-listen to calming music
-write down your feelings
-take deep breaths
-tell an adult the strategies you are going to use


Remember, I BELIEVE in you and I KNOW that you have prepared well for this! I am so proud of all of you and so very honored to be your teacher! Now, relax, rest up and I'll see you bright and early!!!!

Probability Power!

We are working with probability and asking ourselves "What are the chances?" 

We are looking at the probability of landing on a certain color of a spinner, picking a certain color marble out of a jar and rolling a certain number on a dice. 

We are using probability vocabulary like: certain, impossible, likely, unlikely, most likely and least likely to explain our thinking.

Calling all Mathematicians!

In our study of capacity we have been exploring Gallon Land. Here's the story....

In Gallon Land there are 4 Queens.
Each Queen has a Prince and Princess.
Each Prince and Princess gets 2 Cups of popcorn each night before bed.

***Now I want to hear from you...yes YOU! :)

1. What form of measurement do the QUEENS stand for?

2. What form of measurement do the PRINCES and PRINCESSES stand for?

3. What conclusions can you draw about the number of CUPS in a Gallon?

4. If there are 8 ounces in a cup, how many ounces are in a gallon? 1/2 Gallon?

We had a blast!!!!

Capacity

We are starting a new unit on liquid measurement (capacity). We began by exploring gallons and we estimated how many cups we thought were in a gallon, then got into groups to explore.

Field Day

Don't forget tomorrow is FIELD DAY!!!!  Wear tennis shoes, clothes appropriate for warm weather, bring a water bottle and towel to sit on...and don't forget to wear sunscreen!!! I am so excited about all of the fun we are going to have!

We are AMAZING mathematicians!

We have been exploring graphs and how data is represented in many different ways!
