In Math we are working on subtraction as well as building our number sense and problem solving skills by solving and creating our own 'Who Am I?' tasks.

In Science we are wrapping up our rocks and minerals unit and incorporating what we learned at Frank Slide.

In Language Arts we are writing a descriptive paragraph imagining that we were in Frank when the slide occurred in 1903.

Math:  We are continuing to explore division and how it relates to multiplication. We are learning how to show our mathematical thinking in a variety of ways and learning different ways that we can check our own work to ensure we know we have successfully solved the equations. Ask your child to show you how to solve 12 ➗ 4 using more than 1 strategy. Science:   Our student teacher, Mr. Spackman, introduced new scientific vocabulary related to our new science unit, Testing Materials and Designs.  Students explored Compression Strength and Tensile Strength by exploring a variety of mat

Ask your child how their's went! We had our first Phys Ed class with Mrs Miller and went over expectations and rules. Continuing our work from yesterday, in Math we wrote our own word problems about ourselves for Miss Kowal and Mr Neiger to solve and learn more about the students. An example of a problem is "to figure out how many pets I have subtract 4 from 6". We learned how to login to the computers using our new passwords and how to get into GoogleDrive. We then create a 'pop art' word that describes ourselves. Students can show you what they came up with my logging into GoogleDrive at home. The username and password information is on the inside of their Home Communication folder. Mr Neiger had his turn in the 'Hot Seat' today. Ask your chi
