Class multiplies positive and negative integers, earns extra recess time, finishes tests

In math we multiplied integers and it seemed a very welcomed lesson!  The rules for multiplying positive and negative integers are very easy.  If the signs are different then the product will be negative.  If the signs are the same the product will be positive.  Most finished their work before leaving class today!

We took our 15 minute recess we earned for having 50% of our class make a one hundred on the division timed Glad Minutes.  They loved this!  They had the entire playground to themselves.

We then came in and finished our practice tests.  Tomorrow we will go over the tests.  Going over the answers and seeing why or how we missed a question helps us to improve.  Just as scientists, we learn more from what went wrong than what went right!

Book orders came home and are due April 13th.  The code to order online at Scholastic.com is J34XP.  We do earn free books for our classroom library when you order online.  But you may also send in your order. 

Some notes were left out of the Thursday folders and will come home tomorrow.
