Science:
Continued work on the "Toothpick Bridge" project. Ask your student to describe what they are doing if you have not heard about it.

Math:
Studied the skill of Prime Factorization.
See the following web-site for an explanation and a step by step animation of an example problem, done just the way we learned in class.

The assignment was:
Find the prime factorization of the following numbers:
1. 18
2. 32
3. 54
4. 156
5. 327

Show all your work. Only put one row of numbers per line of paper. Do not try to scrunch two rows of numbers onto one line, or write numbers messily across lines.

Writing Workshop:
"Slow Motion Description" Due Monday for Advanced Bells. (See 9-9 for details.)
