Fire Safety:
This week we had Fire Safety. We reviewed all of the things that we have learned in the past. This includes: checking your fire detectors, making sure you have at least two exits out of every room in case that there is a fire and an exit is blocked that you have another way out. And lastly, making sure that your family has a meeting spot because if one family member doesn’t know where to meet the rest of the family, the fire department might think that you are still in the burning house. Then after that we read a book about the Triangle Factory. The event was absolutely horrible. It was about these two friends that worked in a factory that made clothing for women. But unfortunately a fire was caused because of the extra fabric that was everywhere and because of the oil that was in the sewing machines. Soon the entire building was on fire. The door that would be the best exit was locked so that none of the women would try to leave early. The character in the book survived. But many, many women died in the fire. Luckily, we have new rules now, but back then, when the story took place, the rules were different. Many of us have learned how important it is to have a safe place that has at least two exits out of every room.

I learned that you never go on a elevator during a fire.

Math: Students are learning the standard algorithm of mulitplication
When you are doing standard algorithm for multiplication you have to remember
that when you start to multiply your tens you have to put a zero below.
~Lucy
You have to remember that you have to carry the tens to the other row. And
you have to put a ‘’zero’’ if you are multiplying.
Example:---Addyson
4
58
X62
-----
116
+3480
------------
3596
What you have to remember when you are doing the standard algorithm is you have to remember to start with your ones and do your housekeeping. You also have to remember to put a zero in the ones when you finish the ones.

I think math is starting to make sense now that we are doing Standard Algorithm.
It makes a lot more sense then it did before.
-Lily
In math we are learning about standard algorithm but as multiplication and it is fun and I am getting really good at it too.
-Chandler
We are starting to work on division.
-Larkyn
This week in second step we learned about managing anxiety. I sometimes have anxiety before competing. Now, I know some things I can do to help.

Keyboarding Practice:
In school we have new keyboard covers and they help us with typing speed.
-Faith
The keyboard covers help a lot with learning how to type without looking down
at the keyboard because even if you look down with a keyboard cover, you can’t
see the keyboard.
~Jocelyn
The keyboard covers help me type without looking at the buttons.
- Alexander
The keyboard covers are helping me learn how to type because they help
with no cheating.
~ Colby
Keyboarding covers are amazing and are really helpful! In fact, I would rather
use these for normal typing!
-Bennett
The keyboarding practice cover is helping me type without looking at the keys
because you really have to memorize where the keys are.
-Ella
The new keyboard covers are very helpful but, they are also very angering!
Overall, they are slowly building good habits and teaching me to type properly.
