Week of September 28- October 2

Greetings Super Heros! 

Well... as we get into a new week... the month of September is coming to an end and we already starting October... Mr. Busch likes to say... “I can’t believe that another month has passed!” And he is correct..


Another month will have come and gone. Hopefully you are having a SUPER HERO FANTASTIC year so far... but as Batman says, “No time to tarry, lest we forget, lives are at stake!” So here you go.. The 411 for the week!

REMEMBER to take good notes and also keep up on your daily Board Work! ALSO - if you miss your Math Facts Goal you are to take your slip home and practice it for 5 mins with an adult or even an older brother or sister.... and have whoever you practice with initial your sheet.

FOUNDATIONS A:

Seems like the week went so quickly... hmmm now what did we do last week and what are we up to this week? Hmmmmm... oh yes how about... we will continue our work on adding and subtracting decimals... along with comparing and rounding decimals... I know we didn’t get to do the big Round up last week but this week for sure! Saddle up partner!

Your Blog question for the week:

If Spider-man can shoot a web 225 feet... and to save Mary Jane from the clutches of evil, he jumps off of the Empire State Building (which is 1,250 feet) how far down will he go before he runs out of web rope?

Answer: ______________________ once you figure out your answer click on the comment word below and fill in your answer and don’t forget to leave your initials and period so I know who is answering the question!

FOUNDATIONS B:

Now that we have made friendship bracelets... perhaps one of you will start your own business some day and strike it rich. This week we are about to head into a deeper understanding of fractions ~ adding and subtracting and how to find the GCF.... it goes right along with... Do you still have a crush on him or her? I guess we will find out this week!

Great job by two of you on answering the Blog question for the week.. Um the rest of you... will lose out on those points.. So here is your new question for the week:

Iron Man's suit has many power sources, such as solar converters, electrical batteries and an on-board generator that uses beta particle absorption as a fuel source. The suit is also able to convert nearby energy sources, such as heat or kinetic energy into electricity, or even drain electrical energy directly into the batteries for recharge.

If Iron Mans average length of power lasts him 1 and a half days... how often does he have to recharge his suit over a 3 week time span?

Answer: ______________________ once you figure out your answer click on the comment word below and fill in your answer and don’t forget to leave your initials and period so I know who is answering the question!

Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility." This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-man. You too have great power.. Be responsible, you can do great things!

Remember, as always, you are amazing, incredible people with the whole world waiting to be changed by YOU!

Be SUPER This Week!

Week of September 221 - 25

Greetings Super Heros!

As Batman would say KER-SPLOOSH or ZLOOP!



A new week... we will continue our Super Hero quest .. Conquering bad guys as we work on math.. To make a better world for all! :)

Remember to take good notes and also keep up on your daily Board Work!


FOUNDATIONS A:


This week we will be working with place value, adding and subtracting decimals.. And then the big round up!! Howdy Partner!

FOUNDATIONS B:


Have you ever wanted to make a living off on EBAY? Well perhaps our project this week just might be your ticket! Besides our project we will also be working with primates (monkeys?), fractions and visiting the Big Round Up! Yahoo!

Hmmm no one did the mat question last week so .. We will be making sure that you all do it this week and it will be the same for Foundations B class! This is due by Friday.

How fast can Superman fly? They say that Superman is faster than a speeding bullet... more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall building sin a single bound... but how fast can he fly? So Superman can fly 1,500 meters in one second. 1 meter = is roughly 3 feet, so 1,500 meters = 4,500 feet.

So your question of the week is .. How many feet can Superman fly in 15 seconds?

Bam! Boom! Kapow! Ah the life of a Super Hero... first week is down..and now you are used to your lockers and the flow of classes. This week we get down to business.. Super Hero business that is...

This week we will be talking AGE... did you know that in one day there are


1 day = 24 hours 1 day = 1,440  minutes 1 day = 86, 400 seconds

Who would have thought... just think you can fight bad guys for 86,400 seconds a day.. Since Super Heros don’t need to sleep!


Make sure that your cape, gloves and mask are tightly on .. Because this week.. We are going to get to it!

FOUNDATIONS A:


This week my favorite Super Heros, we will be studying age and number lines. Really we will be looking at numbers and what they are made up of. We will also talk about how to read math... that’s a pretty big deal when working with math.

FOUNDATIONS B:

Ah... Super Heros... We jump right off the Empire State Building... as we take a leap into Fractions! OH yes BATMAN! Fractions. It may be Kryptonite to some of you but trust me... you will all make it through!

So here is your math question for the week.. It will be due by Friday and the only way to answer it is on line :)

How fast can Superman fly? They say that Superman is faster than a speeding bullet... more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall building sin a single bound... but how fast can he fly?

The Week Of September 8 - 11

Welcome to a new school year!

The summer is over and as hard as it is to think about ... we are headed back to school, to embark... leave... get our groove on, shake a leg... um hit the road jack... give me a ticket for an airplane.. And other way hip ideas of saying we are off on a mission... a Super Hero mission!

This year, our class theme is Super Heros! Besides all the fun we will have with Super Heros... I hope that you will think of what you can do to help yourself be a Super Hero! Yes.. Say yes.. Yes I can be a Super Hero... all it takes to be Super, is for you to give a little more effort... a little more studying... a little more homework turned in ... and paying a little more attention in class... and at home! That’s it!

So my new Super Heros, I look forward to learning about you and your SUPER powers... and how you can help our class learn, grow and experience something that we would not get to enjoy if you were not in our classroom!

Each week, I will have a new introduction to the weeks goals and plans that we will be working together on. .. Our Blog will also have homework on it for you you to work on..

I do this for a few different reasons, partly because I know how much you love homework.. But the other reasons is that I want you to learn to use technology in a more fun and interesting way.. Besides just looking up pictures of cats or Super Heros!

At the bottom of this page there will be a section for comments if you click on the word "comment." Once there.. you will write your response in the big open box, then click Anonymous and poof your done! BUT make sure that you put your name and period so that I will know who is responding!! VERY IMPORTANT TO DO!

Don’t worry.. There is no way that anyone can get your email or find you on the web, I do not publish the comments, I look at them and then give you a grade :) so your safe!

I look forward to this school year and all the exciting things that we will do together!

As always, you are amazing, incredible people with the whole world waiting to be changed by YOU!

It will be SUPER!
Mr. Rott
