About Us

Math in Our Class
In math, we are learning area and perimeter, multiplication and some of our assignments included division. One of our assignments was about figuring out how many 6-packs of water there were in a vending machine. We use an app called seesaw to do our assignments. There, we have lots of options to draw, type and record our assignments. One of my favorite parts of math is when the first problem helps you solve the second problem. It is like solving a math-mystery!
Time to Read!
One book we read is I am enough. We have just finished with details and synthesis slide decks, they were awesome! In are details and synthesis slide deck we are learning about, find small things inside of books and relate them to big ideas. A large focus of the unit is the lessons the stories are teaching us. We will also take notes on the big ideas in the text. This unit will allow you to grow as fiction readers.
Lots to write
We just entered a new reading unit on opinion writing. We will be writing Awards, Reviews and Speeches. And we will be learning to make bold claims and Support our claims with reasons and examples.

Energy
We are learning about energy , how it is transferred, and circuits and energy like hydroelectricity ( water power) ,wind turbines(windmills)and solar power(sun power). The energy from these were sent to power lines and sent to our phones. The energy from a battery (energy storage ) connected with wires to a LED light makes it light up because of the energy stored inside the batteries.
Saying No to Drugs.
In health we are learning to say no to drugs that drugs are bad for you and peer pressure can make you take in drugs and depression can make you take in drugs. There are two kinds of drugs medication drugs and over the counter drugs. The medication drugs are the good kinds of drugs that help you get better.Fun! Fun! Fun!

For fun we do cool math games after our 1 dreambox lesson which is right before break. In break we do art for kids hub one you can do your own the other is doing what Mrs stauffer is doing . Friday funnies are given on Friday where somebody reads jokes and riddles. It's so fun everybody starts yelling the answer because we give those jokes.
So Special!
For special classes and events we have been doing these types of things. Friday funnies. Friday funnies is where we turn in jokes/riddles into the teacher so she puts it on a google slide. But the slide is shared to us so some people cheat! Teacher tip tuesday. Every tuesday now we have something called teacher tip tuesday where we give compliments or tips to teachers and co-teachers.
