Excitement in 5G

Hi there, everyone!
We had a very exciting afternoon in our classroom! We had a reporter come in to film our classroom and interview me and Shiksha about the Red Cross collection. Shiksha did a great job. The videographer spent time filming our afternoon literacy lesson on schools of the future before we had our interview. It was a great opportunity to let the kids experience what a news reporter does up close. I was sad the whole class did not get to be in the room for it, but most of the class was and it was just the time it could be done. Unforunately, I cannot get the picture to upload of the interview, so I will attempt to put it on tomorrow.

As a reminder - the Family Math Night that was supposed to take place this Thursday has been rescheduled for APril 28. Hope you can all make it - it will be a very fun night!!

Parent Night at Hill Middle School is still on for this Thursday from 7 - 8:30p.m. Please try to make plans to attend. This is a very valuable evening, especially for parents new to Hill.

FINALLY - a challenge was placed on the kids today to learn all 50 states and their capitals. There are plenty of links here on my blog to find online help to study the states. We will be working on these in the class but most of the studying will need to be done at home. By the end of May, your child is expected to know all 50 states, identify them on a map, and tell the name of the capitals. THEY CAN DO IT!!
