Study Trip: Sneak a Peek!






Our Student Store



I am so proud of all that has contributed in making the 401 Student Store such a great success! So far, Perry and Andy has counted up more than $122!

Remember, 40% of the proceeds go to charity. (20% goes to The Tigger House in Kabul, Afghanistan and 20% goes to purchase high jump shoes for an athlete in Kandy, Sri Lanka.

Math Challenge: How much will each charity cause go to so far?

20% of $122 = A, where A represents = $ to Afghanistan
20% of $122 = S, where S represents = $ to Sri Lanka
or
40% of $122 = B, where B represents = $ going to charity
B divided by 2 (number of causes) = $ for each cause

How much will be kept to purchsse resources (or spent on field trips!) for the class?

and...

$122 - (B) = X, where X represents the $ we get to keep!!!

I love finding X, don't you?

401 TAGBOARD

Sincere apologies for not updating this blog. So, here we have it...the new and improved 5th Grade version of My School Rocks!

Now that we have it up and running (not to mention that we can FINALLY access it at school and without a password...oh yeah!), your fearless leader (that's me) needs your help to upload and write for the next postings.

The tagboard no longer works, which might be better (for you evil doers...grr); however, you can certainly make Comments to answer questions and state your opinion in regards to each posting your classmates (or teacher) posts. We need your suggestions, comments, intellect, creativity and boredom to make this new site a success.

Got it!

(Now let's get clicking...what are you waiting for? I said, "Let's go!")

Hello?

Spotlight: Karen


Since Karen did not get her famous name on the 401 News, I have uploaded the event on today's posting.

Does anyone remember what week Karen was Spotlight? Help! Karen? Hello? Anyone?

Sob!

Jail Bait


Where were these pictures taken? AAAaaaa! Help!

For some odd reason, I feel like I've been thrown in jail...can you tell me why?

Today is Wednesday

Today is, I mean it WAS a special release day because it was the last Wednesday of the month. Tell me the schedule for Monday. How about Tuesday, Thursday and Friday?

Do you have all the days memorized? (Geez...I hope so.)
