Christa McAuliffe Field Trip 2/9

Don't forget our field trip is planned for tomorrow Tuesday, February 9th.  We are leaving promptly at 8:00 a.m. and return for 2 p.m.

Students will need to bring a bagged lunch with no glass bottles or nut products.  Jobs will be announced during homeroom before we leave.

In the event of  no school or a delay at Charlton Middle or Framingham State, our trip will be postponed until the spring.  Think positive!!!

Lesson Plans WE 2/5/16

Second quarter report cards went home on Friday, please return signed envelopes to school.  We are beginning adding and subtraction fractions with like and unlike denominators (Topic 9).  The following is my homework for the week:

Math:
Monday -  P & R 9.1 (photocopied - do not use workbook)
Tuesday - P & R 9.2 (photocopied - do not use workbook)
Wednesday - P & R 9.1 (from workbook - writing to Explain)
Thursday - P & R 9.5 (photocopied - do not use workbook)

Science

We are continuing our research on our Mission to Mars.  Please forward any usable recyclable materials to school so that we can start building for the end of the week.  I've attached a link to examples of model cars, so that parents can get the idea of the types of donated items which can be sent into the class.

Example Cars

This week, students will finish research for vehicles, complete individual and team sketches, make a 3-D model, and begin to build prototypes.

Reminders:
Field Trip - Tuesday, February 9th - please pack your child with a disposable lunch.

As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks!
