In Science, we were busy finding out about photosynthesis and digestion. In Reading, we read biographies. In Math, we are working to decompose numbers in order to divide with larger numbers using a strategy called partial quotient. In Writing, we are composing book recommendations for the library.
We have our Art and Science Night set up for Monday, March 14th. We will set up on Sunday and then show our talent on Monday. Students can start putting together their talents in the area of art and science!
Our trip to the Capitol and the Museum have been set for Friday, April 15th. This day all students will need to have a sack lunch. Also we will not be getting back from the trip until about 4:30pm. We wanted to give you the date and a few details. More information to come!
