__**Math Challenge #1**__:

Mrs. Kelly's class has accepted your challenge! Our class worked together to solve this problem! Here are our final answers. (We don't understand the chart! Sorry!!!) There are 30 campers who will receive soup. There are 15 campers who will receive a bowl of spaghetti to share. There are 10 campers who will receive a bowl of salad to share. To find our answer, we used a formula and chose a random number to start that was divisible by 2 and 3 since we knew we had to divide by both of those numbers. We finally figured it out on our third try! We used the following formulas: soup= n (number of campers) spaghetti= n/3 salad= n/2 We had to try different numbers to solve the problem. We knew we had the right answer when we were able to add up the number of bowls used for the soup, spaghetti, and salad and have it equal 55 bowls total!

After some rapid calculations, Mrs. Zachary was able to figure out how many campers were going to the picnic. Can you?
= Keep working you are half way there! =

__**Math Challenge #2**__:

Mrs. Kelly's class has accepted your challenge! Here are our final answers. If 7 more painters join the team two days after they have started, then it will only take the 14 painters 9 more days to complete the job. We found our answer by completing a T-chart. We know that if 7 painters can complete the job in 22 days, then 14 painters should be able to complete the job in 11 days (half of the original days because we have doubled our workers). Since they had already started working for two days, we subtracted those two days from 11, which gives us 9 days!

Are we correct?

__**Glogster**__: I set my students up on our class wikispace so they can save their information for the Glog. Some students are still working. Glogs coming soon!

__**Flip Cam**__: We just learned more about our community at Rosenthal Montessori. Our school has an interesting history. We interviewed Mr. Dorman Clayton about the rebuilding of our school. --video is coming---

Hello everyone! My name is Carol Kelly, and I currently teach 5th and 6th grade ELA at Rosenthal Montessori School in Alexandria. I'm very excited to be joining the group! I know this will be such a great experience for me as a teacher to grow and learn, and the same for my students. I look forward to working with everyone and "meeting" you all on Skype sometime!
