Update from Ms. R

THANK YOU to all the families for sending food, helping out and coming by to see the amazing work done by the students at our 100 Books Party! It was a great success! The class estimated that we had over 217 people through our class on Friday morning. Great work everyone!

The homework for this week is to read the non-fiction story about the job of a school principal and answer the reading comprehension questions. The bonus question about writing a letter to our principal, Mrs. Farrelly, is optional. There is also a math worksheet reviewing what the students learned about fractions of a whole object (as opposed to a set of objects). This homework is due on Friday, April 4.

Many parents asked for the recipe for the "Room 5 Fudge" that the students made to serve at our party. Here is the simple, but delicious recipe:

Ingredients:

3 cups chocolate chips (We used a combination of milk and semi-sweet chocolate chips.)
1 can (300 ml) sweetened condensed milk (We used Eagle Brand.)

* Slowly melt and stir the chocolate chips and the sweetened condensed milk together in a saucepan until well combined. Pour into an 8" by 8" pan. (We lined the pan with waxed paper.) Refrigerate overnight or until hardened (about 4 hours). Cut into small squares and serve.
