Welcome Back

Hello IA Families,

I hope everyone had a wonderful spring break, and was able to enjoy some family time together.  Coming back to school this week we will be focusing on planning for our camping trip, finishing up our fractions knowledge, and introducing our new science project about earthquakes.

This week we will be making rice krispie treats in class.  The students worked hard on reducing and increase the recipe size, so now they will be able to make their treats to celebrate.  Also this week the newest Earthquake Project will be introduced.  More information about this project is on the Earthquake page of this blog.

Also, below is a supply list for the camping trip, so make sure you check out the items needed for the trip.  Later this week we will send home the information about food.  We are planning a menu and each student will be responsible for bringing some food items to contribute to the group.
