SKI TRIP CANCELED

Google Docs

Room 16 will be learning how to use Google Docs! For those of you unfamiliar with the programs, Google Docs are free online wordprocessor, speadsheet and presentation programs. Using Google Docs will allow the students to work together on projects and share information online, and to work at school or at home. In order to use the programs, students will need an email address. I will be creating these gmail addresses for school purposes only. I will maintain the passwords and accounts, and I will delete all accounts in June upon request. The email addresses will all be firstnamegivinsroom16@gmail.com. If you have any objection to the creation of a gmail account for your child please let me know. Thank you!

Television Viewing Habits

In our next unit in math, we will be learning about the collection and organization of data. Over the next couple of weeks your child will be working on a number of tasks to do with gathering data, organizing data, and presenting the data graphically. To begin this unit, I will be asking students to keep track of how much television they watch over a seven-day period. It is important that your child think about how to collect and organize the data, as the method used will be discussed in class. The students will have opportunities to present their data graphically and to compare their data with the information collected by their classmates.

Thank you for your continued support!
