Mrs. Richards' Reports from Room 137

Friday was National P.I.E. Day so we celebrated by learning what this math symbol stands for. Congratulations goes out to Maksim Kan with the highest MAPS winter math score, and to Gabe Coons for the most improved score.  They each received a certificate and coupon to Baker's Square. Way to go boys!

Quarter 3 conferences are coming up on Tuesday March 25 from 4:30-8pm.  These conferences are by teacher request. Of course, if you want to attend to talk about your child's progress, please contact me.

Our new Inquiry Unit that we started this week is on Force and Motion. We are learning about the 3 kinds of matter: solid, liquid, and gas, and how they move. For this inquiry, we are having Story's grandpa come into our classroom on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon to do hands on experiments with the children. He is a retired middle school science teacher. They fondly call him "grandpa"!  The children are learning a lot and are having a great time with the experiments.
