Spring Break is Almost Here!

Highlights from the week:

We have the top AR point earner in our class: 219 points!!!


We are experimenting with series and parallel circuits in Science.




Many children in our class wore green for St. Patrick's Day.



In math we are working on changing fractions to decimals and percents - we even get to use the calculator to figure out some of them:)

We are reading an AWESOME novel, The Wright 3. We have read 19 of the 34 chapters already. It is so exciting. We are really looking forward to our Robie House fieldtrip. Check out this link:

Other interesting things to note:
  • We are working on our endangered animal reports using Comic Life.
  • We are writing an essay on friendship.
  • During a lesson on "Mystery Circuits," we were visited by our District Administrators.  They had a great time in our class and were very impressed by the children's knowledge.
