Word Problem a la Lucy & Dana:
Mrs. Buti made Mr. Buti a 23-piece Michael Jordan cake. Mr. Buti ate 17 pieces. Mrs. Buti ate 2 pieces. How many slices can Cormick and Ava split equally?
Solve on paper: draw picture and show work!
While jamming to “I Am a Paleontologist” and “Electric Car” yesterday, we discovered that we could have used the “Cells” song while learning about cells a few weeks ago. So here it is, better late than never. We’ve learned a lot about cells, but this video explains DNA better than the book or I could have explained in class!
Our Human Body Project was assigned today…a Prezi on a body system. Presentations will be due next Wed, Thurs, or Fri. See the “Science Links” on the lower left hand side of the blog for many helpful, kid-friendly sites to use while researching: Cool & Gross Body, How the Body Works, Human Body Videos, and The Human Body. Remember that Webpath Express (through Destiny) is also an excellent online research tool.
Dear Indian Trail Community,
Today information was sent home with your child about Indian Trail’s new charity,The Rory Deustch Foundation (http:// www.roryd.org/welcome). Rory is a former Indian Trail student and beloved member of our community. At the young age of seven-years old, he died of a brain stem glioma, a type of pediatric brain tumor. His courage and optimism in the face of inevitable death was an inspiration to all who knew him. The mission of The Rory David Deutsch Foundation is to eradicate pediatric brain tumors and other devastating childhood diseases as well as to make a difference in the lives of afflicted children and their families. It accomplishes these purposes by:
During the week of April 30th – May 4th, Indian Trail School will host it’s first “Ragnar for Rory” school-wide fundraising event to support the Rory Deustch Foundation. In order to make this fundraiser meaningful for students, they will participate in a week-long distance running program that fosters the importance of exercise, teamwork, and goal setting during P.E. Additionally, six Indian Trail teachers will be running the official Ragnar Relay on June 8th.
Our goal is to reach $10,000.00 in donations this year and we need YOUR help!The Rory David Deustch Foundation is a non-profit organization and all proceeds benefit their mission.
All fundraiser links can be found on our physical education department blog: (http://blogs.nssd112.org/
