Our day began with Math today. We did Pods this morning to help us review fractions. Station 1 worked with a variety of fraction games online. Station 2 gave students an opportunity to create fractions and manipulate pattern blocks to create fractions. Station 3 gave me an opportunity to review yesterday's assignment working with equivalent fractions.
I can't stress enough the important off ALL students getting their homework done on time. It is very difficult for students to discuss concepts in math when they did not complete the extra practice for homework. Please check with your child every night to see if they have homework or not.
Students are assigned an Extra Practice sheet that is due on Thursday to hand in.

We then worked on our novel studies. Group 1 is working on questions for Chapter 10. Group 2 is working on questions for Chapter 12. Group 3 is working on Chapter 27. Group 4 has completed Chapter 39.

This afternoon we took part in a presentation by Ducks Unlimited. The students participated in an experiment looking at erosion. The students also had a visit from some special little friends!!
