Torrey's Peak Scientists- Observations!

Do students receive candy in Science class on a regular basis?! We hope not Mr. Gerber, remember only special occasions!

This week students used Hershey candy bars to illustrate the importance of observation in Science and our daily environments. The young Torrey's Peak scientists carefully observed the candy bar and realized how observations can take different forms!

PS.. Study for your Science Vocabulary test on Friday - ALL 20 Words!

Factors & Multiples Dance

To help students remember the difference between factors and multiples, Mrs. Salter (choreographed herself ;), a math dance! Yes, feel free to use this move at the next school dance with your friends! Otherwise, practice the dance over the long weekend and see if it helps you remember the difference between these math terms. What are the factors of 24? What are the multiples of 6? Happy dancing :)

Math Mates!

Math Mates in action! Students will be reviewing math questions weekly. Here is Mrs. Salter's class reporting out their weekly score. Turn in your Math Mates on time every week!

Every Thursday Torrey's Peak will be having a weekly study hall. Students will have the opportunity to get ahead with their work, complete make up work, or dive into their current chapter book! Here is a short broadcast of what work students were involved in today.

Also, we are asking every parent/guardian to sign off on planners EVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. We will be checking for signatures on Thursday in study hall. We are hoping the signature piece will foster communication at home!

Please excuse my directorial debut as my video camera (at this time) only will shoot 45 seconds or less!
