Think Tank in Third
Weekly Update- November 11, 2016
Week at a Glance
Math- We've continued our e4tech lessons and students are doing awesome. This week we created a game called tic-tac-compute. Students filled a tic-tac-toe board with numbers and had to write a math equation or words to show how they got the numbers. Students did a great job of showing their thinking.
Social Studies- You will see on this week's homework menu that we will be starting a family traditions project to learn about different cultures, holidays, and family traditions. If you have any questions about this topic, please contact us.
Genius Hour- Most students are finished with research and we will start looking ahead for a date to haev presentations.
Learner's Profiles went home today, so check your child's red folder for this
