The 411 for the week!
What 2nd and 5th Period classes will be up to this week:
This week my little Super Heroes 2nd and 5th periods will be spending time more time working on multiples and also getting back into fractions!! Not a lot of new material this week but enough to keep you on the edge of your seat! REMEMBER.. Starting this week you will be expected to fill out at least one page of notes ~ this will be worth 25 points! Also, you will still have Blog Questions and will be expected to complete those by Friday at midnight.
On Santa’s flight from the North Pole all the way around the world back again to the North Pole takes him 3 hours and 15 minutes. Super man can do it in 35 mins. Who can fly faster? And also how much more time does it take Santa to make the trip than it does Superman?
That is right, Cooking! To continue our understanding of Mixed numbers we will once again be doubling our mixed numbers and to help us with that we will be using sugar cookies to help! Since last time, (hard to believe actually!) we some how were able to make dough that worked.. This time you will each be making YOUR OWN dough!
BLOG QUESTION FOR 4th Period:
If Santa has a bag full of gifts for all the good girls and boys... hmmm does that count Jose and Carols? Anyhow... Elf Cammy was counting all the presents and she found the sum of the presents that were left in Santa’s bag to be 3,456 presents. Of all those presents, Elf Ayla found that 525 were wrapped in red paper, 234 were in blue, and 1,123 were covered with pictures of santa, and the rest of the presents were covered with candy canes. Your Elf question is: How many presents were covered with candy canes? You are to also make a fraction for all presents... for example how many out of 3,456 are covered in red paper? Write a fraction that represents each different wrapped present.
COOL SITE OF THE WEEK! http://www.noradsanta.org/en/index.html
Noradtracks Santa! Check it out, way cool! Besides tracking Santa, what does NORAD normally do? NORAD is a bi-national U.S./Canadian military organization responsible for the aerospace defense of North America. NORAD provides warning of impending missile and air attacks, safeguards the air sovereignty of North America, and maintains airborne forces for defense against attack. NORAD performs this important mission 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. But on Christmas Eve each year, NORAD has one additional mission: Tracking Santa around the world!

As Spidey says each week... 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!
