Hi Everyone,

   Welcome to week 2 of home learning.  I hope that everything is going well.

Math

The Hi-Tech option for math is Dreambox.  The username and passwords are now available and you just have to send me an email to get it.  The site is https://play.dreambox.com/login/knjs/aaj2 .  If access to Dreambox is an issue, the site math-drills.com has tons of worksheets available to print.  For this week, focus on multi-digit addition and subtraction with re-grouping (carrying and borrowing for the parents reading this).  If no tech is available, grab a deck of cards and use them for multiplication practice.

Math Problem of the Week - I have attached a file to this called problem of the week.  Feel free to try it and send me your answers.

Science

This weeks Science challenge involves growing plants without soil:

Did you know you could grow a garden without soil?  This is called hydroponics.  Growing plants hydroponically helps gardeners and farmers grow more food faster, in any season, and in smaller places, like your home. 
Your challenge is to grow something in a mason jar or plastic bottle without soil.

Mr. Richard
