Here's the Earth Day song if you want to keep listening to it and reminding yourself what you need to do to help the earth!

Remember we can:

3. Use less water - don't let the faucet run, take shorter showers
4. Use reusable containers for lunches
5. Don't use plastic bags, straws etc. Find reusable ones
6. Pick items that have parts we can reuse - ie: get a metal or glass reusable drink container, not plastic!
7. Use both sides of the paper, recycle our paper, and don't waste it!
8. And so much more!

Growth Mindset

Stretch your brain and increase those brain muscles! Here's the book again in case you want to read it!

Remember you have a math test on Monday! You need to be able to:

• Estimate numbers to find the sum (+) and difference (-)
• Add and subtract showing your work and your steps (borrowing, carrying)
• Find out the amount of change/bills you should get back when you purchase something. 

You can spend some time reviewing the homework I've posted, working with money, or practicing on Prodigy or Freckle. Remember, when we did our Plickers reviews you should know where you struggled to ensure that is where you continue practicing!

***REMEMBER: You need to read the question, to ensure you are answering it correctly.. like: Estimate, THEN calculate!

Save the Rainforest!

Today we learned a bit about the different rainforests around the world. They are all over and close to the equator. Costa Rica, Brazil, Madagascar, Australia, Thailand, Indonesia, and of course... MALAYSIA all have rainforests. We need to be careful about what we do so that we do not help the destruction of the rainforests around the world. We need them because they produce... oxygen!

Wonder Update

We are halfway through our "Wonder" read aloud. Yesterday we read a quote that really stuck with me.. sometimes we need to apologize and say sorry if we have hurt somebody, even though we didn't mean to. They still got hurt!

Math Homework

We are going to bump the Math test to Monday, seeing we had a few away today who didn't get to review for it. Please ensure all the questions are done, so we can use our "Plickers" to review tomorrow. Questions #2, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12.
