We also worked on function machines, which are a fun way for students to find patterns within numbers. I am amazed and impressed with how quickly everyone caught onto the patterns! Even when I tried to make them tricky, I couldn't fool 1.3!
literacy
Mark your calendars for a special Author's Share on Friday, February 28th. Parents are welcome to come celebrate as our authors read their finished fairy tales.
social studies
Next week we will begin to see how people are affected by landforms... People who live in the mountains have a very different life style than those living on an island or in the plains!
