With 3rd quarter coming to an end, and Spring Break! right around the corner, our class is still concentrating on academics. We have finished the final draft on our writing assignment. We used the writing assignment in Ms. Harron's computer lab for a great keyboard exercise. We continue to work on our individual reading, language, and spelling skills.
In math we have been studying shapes, angles, lines, rotation, flipping, and other geometric shapes and strategies. We have been figuring perimeters and area. We have looked at how to find volume. But most of all we are anticipating our "division" pizza party. Each student had to pass a timed test on division. In order to earn a pizza, one topping at a time, they had to get 100% of the correct answers on mixed division, all the way up to their twelves. All students accomplished this task!
In science, the scientific method as been introduced. In social studies the subject is still early America.
We are gearing up for the home stretch, and looking forward to some warmer weather.
