News for 12/18

It's winter break! We can't believe that the first half of the school year is over. We have had such a wonderful semester and are looking forward to a great 2018!

Math:

3rd Grade- 

Third grade has had a great time with our Data Analysis unit. We have learned about line plots, stem and leaf plots, as well as bar graphs and frequency tables. We will wrap up our unit when we return in January.

4th Grade-

We spent the week wrapping up our decimal multiplication and division unit.  Students played BINGO, a spinner game and did a cut/glue matching activity to show off their knowledge.  We took our DCA test over multiplication and division of fractions and decimals Wednesday to end the week.

5th Grade-

Students spent the week studying the differences between expressions, equations and inequalities.  We used a fun website called SolveMe to solve lots of equations, and completed a fun pennant flag project to place in the hallway.  We took our DCA over rates, ratios and percents and expressions and equations on Wednesday.

ELA Enrichment & ISP:

1st Grade- 

We spent the week studying snowflakes!  We learned that snowflakes have 6 sides, just like a hexagon.  Students used all kinds of fun materials to create a symmetrical 6 sided snowflake.  You can see them on display at STEAM night in January!

2nd Grade-

Building is now complete! The students are so excited about how their rooms have turned out. They are looking forward to displaying them in January at STEAM night. We also had a little fun this week with some pentominoe challenges. It really got our brains thinking!

3rd Grade-

We have nearly completed construction of our houses. The students are excited to share them at STEAM night in January. We are also looking forward to wrapping up our novel study when we return.

4th Grade-

Building is nearly complete and the houses look great! We are also looking forward to wrapping up our Mr. Lemoncello novel study when we return.

5th Grade-

Fifth grade has begun writing their scripts for their Mysterious Benedict Society novel study. We can't wait to see them develop and are excited to share them with the group!

Have a wonderful holiday break and see you next year!
