A Busy March!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We have had a busy month so far.  Here are a few highlights:

Math -We wrapped up our fraction and decimal unit last week.  This week we began learning about Geometry.  

ELA -We are reading The Van Gogh Cafe by Cynthia Rylant and the students are learning how to write summaries.  

Social Studies -We have traveled to the Southwest (only 4 states!).  This week the students began working on "Images of the Southwest", which is an art project focused on the landforms and landscape of the region.  

Science -The students are wrapping up the energy unit and will begin learning about rocks and minerals next week.

Brownie Points!  Today the students are enjoying a St. Patrick's Day party (games, crafts, etc.) to celebrate earning 20 brownie points as a class.  Great job everyone!
