Brrrrr....

Wow!  What a chilly week we are having!  We've been keeping warm inside by staying very busy!  In Language we've been improving our writing skills by learning about homophones and how to avoid using run-on sentences.  In Math, we have been all about geometry, looking at angles (stayed tuned for our MART!) and also learning all about the quadrilateral family tree :)  We have been learning about electricity and are very excited to have Scientists in the School coming in this Thursday for some hands-on demonstrations.  Can't wait!

Today's awesome

Mash ups

Whether in music or dance, they bring a smile to my face and a spring to my step.  AWESOME!

Country in a box

We have been very busy presenting our "countries in a box".  I am very impressed with all that you have learned about other parts of the world!  Great job!  Can't wait to see the rest of the presentations!

When someone does something before you even have to ask
Could you please...Oh, you've already done it?  Awesome!

Happy New Year!

What a way to start the New Year!  Such an icy day found us with very few people in the classroom.  Those of us that were here put our knowledge of coordinate grids to the test! We reviewed ordered pairs, the x-axis, the y-axis, and the origin on a coordinate plane. To help consolidate our learning, we played a modified version of Battleship. Students called out ordered pairs and tried to sink each others battleships. It got pretty intense! One thing is for sure, I think everyone had a great time and can now locate coordinates on a grid. Woohoo! 

Hoping to see everyone back safe and sound tomorrow!
