Back to school!

We are back! The students are doing a wonderful job getting back into the school routine. We are working hard with new challenging spelling words in class. Expect to see spelling homework each night.



We are studying money in math class. Each student is working at his or her own level. Some students are making change, working on percentages, and budgeting. Others are working on counting all coins. While others are working on identifying coin values and adding pennies and nickels.


In science class, students are learing about designing structures. They are already experts at building with Legos. Now we will use other building materials and decide how to design a building that is sturdy.
