Happy Monday Everyone,
I would like to thank Mrs. DiGaetani for providing us with another art enrichment lesson. We learned about Piet Mondrian. We used his work Broadway Boogie Woogie to inspirt our own spider web art.
I would also like to thank Mrs. Stone for providing us with a fun lesson on how to make sure we include everyone in our activities especially on the play ground and at lunch.

We will be going on our field trip to the Pablo Creek Public Library on this Thursday. We are scheduled to leave JBE at 11:00. We are asking students to bring a heavy snack which we will eat before we leave and a lunch that we will have when we return at 1:15. Students will be able to purchase lunch from the cafeteria or may bring a bag lunch. If you are planning to chaperone please make sure that your volunteer status is up to date. You may either follow the bus or meet us at the library.
Students will be bringing home information about our next field trip. Our next field trip will be an in school field trip to colonial times. Our Colonial Kids field trip will be on Thursday November 16th. We will learn about what kids did during colonial times. We will make palm frond napkin holders, a colonial toy, and bead jewelry. We will also learn how to weave fabric, grind corn for meal and write with a quill and liquid ink. We are in need of at least two parents to facilitate the activity that will be in our classroom. Parents that want to volunteer will need to be at school by 8 A.M. the day of the event to be trained. If you are interested please let your child's homeroom teacher know as soon as possible.
This week in math we will learn how to multiply 2 digit by 2 digit problems using various strategies. Students will also learn how to apply the formulas for area and perimeter to solve real world problems. Talk to your child about a time that you had to order flooring (area) or fencing (perimeter) for example. Discuss the steps you used to calculate how much materials to order.
Students will also turn in their first round of math choices. Students work will be evaluated based on completeness, accuracy with answers and information and neatness.
In science we will learn about the Law of Conservation of Mass. This scientific law states that the parts of an object will have the same mass as the whole object. Students will also learn two ways to calculate the volume of solid objects.
In social studies we will begin learning about when Europeans first arrived in Florida.
Have a Wonderful Week,
Ms. Johnson
