Count Down to Pesach Break...5..4..3..2..1..

We are counting the days until Pesach break - and are very aware of the enormous amount of things we need to accomplish before Friday's Model Seders. First of all, our class business - Heaven in the 4th Dimension - has to secure a "business loan" to provide the start-up costs for our business. The CEOs, the Vice Presidents, the Financial Directors, and the Research and Development director have been working very hard to create this business loan proposal. They will present it to Mrs. Sapp this week. Wish us luck!

The packaging and design team has created an AWESOME logo for our company and have designed some snazzy gift bags for our merchandise. The product development team for our ice cream division has created 4 DELICIOUS flavors (2 dariy - Cholov Yisroel, 2 pareve) and are working on the top secret recipes for each. The product development team for our apron division have created 2 beautiful designs - one for dairy, and one for pareve, and are experimenting with painting and printing techniques. The marketing and Advertising department have been hard at work! They have planned an AMAZING advertising campaign, complete with posters, fliers, poems, commercial jingles, and a power-point marketing presentation. I am so proud of our class!


In reading - we will finish the book The Whipping Boy. We will not have a spelling/vocabulary test this week. In math - we will review the basics of division. PLEASE review these at home. After Pesach break, we will tackle the challenging concept of long division. Knowing the basics will make this new concept much easier for all involved. In science - we will continue to learn about the circulatory system. We will learn a snappy little song that will teach us the process by which blood travels through the heart. Before you know it, you will be singing it , too. (sorry....)

We will also have a little talk about manners. Spring fever has hit our class hard. There have been temper tantrums, teasing, whining, arguing, contagious silliness, endless chatter, and general melt-downs. We will discuss ways to manage our emotions and stress, and learn how to peacefully, kindly, and politely resolve conflicts and differences.

Oh, it will be quite a week!
