Remember - The website is getepic.com and our class code is: dvv4784.  You also have social studies today and you will learn about maps. You will be going onto Pebble Go. The username is: appleseed and the password is: read. I look forward to seeing what kind of maps you make.

The answer to yesterday's math question is: 7 1/2 cups flour and 3/4 cup of water

Today's question is: Mrs. Bianco went to Dippin Donuts. She got three donuts (99 cents each), five donut holes for her dog (24 cents each) and a ham and cheese sandwich for $3.25. Did she spend more or less money than Mrs. Skinner, who went to Dunkin Donuts and got a dozen donuts for $5.99?

Tomorrow we are having Google Meet at 10 am. I will be holding a math lesson. Yesterday I took a tutorial on Google Meet so it will hopefully run smoothly. Please join me and bring a pencil and piece of paper! We will be working on addition and subtraction up to 1000. Please bring the map you made to Google Meet and we can also share that.

Good morning boys and girls! It's April 13, 2020. The weather is calling for lots of rain and wind later. It's a great day to curl up with a good book! This week's assignment/choice board is posted. Today you will be learning about measurement in Scholastic Learn At Home. After you read the stories, try measuring things around your house that are about a foot long. If you don't have a ruler, use your parent's shoe (ask permission first). Let me know what you find! Today for specials you have music, and there is also an SEL video featuring Howard Wigglebottom. You will learn how Howard controls his emotions, and there is a cute activity afterward that you can try at home.
Other things to keep in mind:
-The school wide read aloud continues today. Who will be today's mystery reader?
-Tomorrow we will have our Google Meet at 10 am. Note the time change! We will be having some special guests joining us!
-I'm going to assign a "Math Challenge" every day during the morning post. Kids who submit it and get the correct answer will earn APPLES tickets. You have to ask a parent if they can e-mail me the answer so that nobody else sees your answer. I will be keeping track of everyone who earns an APPLES ticket and once we are back in school I will give you your APPLES tickets. I will also announce the winners and the answer for the day on the next day's morning post.
-Here is today's MATH CHALLENGE:
Dr. O'Hearn Curran's tomato plant measures 38 inches. Mrs. King's tomato plant measures 2 feet, 17 inches. Whose tomato plant is taller?

Happy Friday!

Good morning! It's Friday, April 10, 2020. The sun is shining again so that makes me very happy! What makes you happy? Today we have online library for our special and you will also be reading two books about empathy and kindness at Scholastic Learn At Home. Thank you to everyone who has sent in pictures of their seedlings which are sprouting up this week. I noticed online that Lakeview Nurseries is offering free tomato seedlings, pots, and soil at their store in Lunenburg (curbside). It looks like a great offer but you might want to call ahead to make sure they have some tomato seedlings left! Have a wonderful day!
