Here's the scoop

      Today is Friday, November 15, 2013 and the weather is getting colder.  We have been working hard in math.  We learned new divisibility rules.  Divisibility is when you pick a number and see if it is divisible by 23456789 or 10.  We have also learned to find the Greatest Common Factor. In order to find the GCF you need to pick two numbers and find all the multiples of those two numbers then you find the same and the biggest number of the multiples.  Are number of the day is 33. We take a number and make different ways to make that number.            
     Mrs. Binge's 6th grade class is selling snack passes for $1.00. The money that they raise goes to Growing Strong and Habitat For Humanity.
       Congratulations to the following students that made the Durfee Basketball team Tyler, Kaderius, Jacobe, Kamilian and trelyn.  Their first game is Tuesday at the DISC at 3:45. 
      Our next states and capitals test is Wednesday,  November 20, 2013.  I am. Currently studying to take my capitals test.  I am sure I will do great. There is a song on you tube that we have been using to help us with are states. I really like that song.
      We have  also been studying lots of vocabulary words.  Each week we make flash cards, work on sentences, graphic organizers and made videos on our iPads.  My favorite word we've learned so far is predict.  The definition of predict is to see or hear something before somebody or something else.
     Our holiday program is December 12 at 12:45.  The 5th graders will be singing Jingle Bell Rock and  We Will Jingle 
     In reading we are reading Loser by Jerry Senellie.  The book is about a kid that never gets mad and is always happy and doesn't care if he wins or loses.  I like this book because it inspires you to never get put down by somebody else.  
     I really hope the durfee basket ball team wins I hope you all will be there SEE YA!!! ,
