Announcements
Our students did a great job working hard on the MAP test! Our next units in our classes will be working hard on some fun activities.
Important dates for this week:
May 6: Band - Greater KC Solo & Small Ensemble Festival at Lincoln College Prep Academy
What did we do in class today?
Math:Students are designing a product that is made of only paper and tape. It has to be wearable and hands-free. The product that holds the most books when walking the runway wins! Ask students about their design when they get home.
ELA:Today students are brainstorming books for their Ideal Bookshelf and sketching a rough draft of their bookshelf. Go to idealbookshelf.com to see some examples of what we will be working on!
