Weird Wednesday

Don’t forget, Friday is Payne’s Jog-a-thon. Make sure you are getting donations from friends and family to help save the Playworks program. Our team color is GREEN! Make sure you plan to wear green athletic gear on Friday.

We also need donations of bottled water for the activity. Please comment here if your family can donate a flat of bottled water (small bottles are preferred.)

Also, Scholastic book order is due on Friday. You can order online: Scholastic Books (our class code is H97DN)

Here is the problem of the day:

Wonderful Wednesday…

Today’s question:

Today’s photo is of me with one of my cats, Marley. Marley spends most of the time sitting on my desk trying to get me to pet her. It is sweet, but annoying when I’m trying to get work done on the computer. You can also see Skippy sitting on the chair in the background.

Here’s today’s problem…

Write the problem and solution on a piece of paper and give it to me in the morning. Do NOT post here, please… You may use a small piece of paper.

The problem is for everyone, inspired by Ben. He asked for a division problem.

Also, watch this super cool science video and tell me how you like it (the video just under three minutes long.) Make sure you have your parent’s permission to watch YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVkdfJ9PkRQ

Also go to your Moby Wall and vote in the poll: What is your favorite school subject? (http://www.runmoby.com/ca7001)
