We have been working hard on regrouping double-digit subtraction. The students are still struggling. They get confused when they have to figure out when to regroup and when they do not have to regroup.  Please check with your student and see if they can do this with ease.  We have started our unit on fractured Fairytales and will be finishing our habitat unit this week. Please have your student bring a small shoebox and any left over craft material (plants, greenery, moss etc.) that they could use. Every student will need a gallon size bag of flour dough. It needs to be very firm in order to shape mountains.   Please send any empty plastic containers that cookies and fruit come in. They cannot have holes. If you could purchase clear or blue hair gel for our water we would really appreciate it. Please bring these materials as soon as possible.  They can start making their habitat as soon as they bring supplies.  

We will be going on a Field Trip to the Museum Of Curiosity on March 30th. Please send the permission slip so we can order lunches.

Flour Dough Clay

• With a fork, mix together 2 parts flour and 1 part salt. Break up or remove any lumps.
• Stir the water into the clay gradually, mixing it in with a fork as you pour. Finish mixing the clay with your hands until it is dough.
• Store clay in an airtight container or wrap unfinished works with plastic wrap and refrigerate. When you want the clay to harden, let it air-dry for up to 24 hours.
