5th Grade 101
Mrs. Harris' Class Newsletter for 3/21/16
What We Learned
Before our much needed break, we were learning about characteristics of the Earth, Moon, and Sun as well as beginning our 2 week Math STAAR review. Students were also introduced to a new online Math program called Think Through Math. They are more than welcome to work on it at home. I did ask them to do Avatar purchases at home and not at school so that they will use their time in the classroom wisely!
