Hello families,
A copy of The Breadwinner went missing off the desk of a student in our class. We searched high and low for it and it did not turn up. Unfortunately, I cannot buy a new copy at the bulk price from Scholastic. We put our heads together and did a little math. The Breadwinner retails at $9.99. Using long division, we discovered that if everyone brings in .30 we can replace this book, which I'll buy over the weekend.
We unanimously agreed that this is the right thing to do and that if we raise more than $10.00, the money will go to Free the Children. We can all feel good about this.
Thank you for being a kind, caring class. P.S. class - check your blog: the book recommendations are trickling in. You are bloggers!
Today, we kicked off our photography unit for Media Literacy. We learned about camera shots and we combed through old National Geographic magazines for examples of long, medium, close up and extreme close up shots.
In the afternoon, it was all hands-on math as we took over the hallway to estimate and check the mass of objects from the class.
