Wednesday, April 6

HOMEROOM:  We had a perfect walk to Webb today!  The rain held out for us and the performances were exquisite!  Many students are talking about joining the High School Drum Line and Color Guard when they are able!  I can't wait for them to come back and perform as high-schoolers.

Tomorrow morning is 3rd and 4th grade Donuts with Dads from 6:30-7:30am.  Friday we will be going to CBIS to learn all about next year.  We will leave immediately following lunch and return for dismissal.  Whew, the fun never ends at Needham!

MATH: The students are doing some cool things with percents!  I am so proud of them.  Tonight's homework is SL 9.4.  They will need a calculator for part of it and were encouraged to bring their Math Notebook home to help them with the steps for converting fractions.  Just in case they forgot, here are the steps:

Fraction to Decimal:
Divide the numerator by the denominator.
(1/2  = 1 divided by 2 = 0.5)

Fraction to Percent: 

1. Convert the fraction to a decimal. 
2. Move the decimal 2 places to the right. (x100)
3. Add the % sign.
