Math Class

We created arrays in math today to visualize what different multiplication number sentences represent.

North American Countries

We have been focusing on the continent of North America in geography. The boys have selected countries from North America which they researched during web quests. We are now collaborating on a Museum Box to organize all of our information.

Math Class

This week is math, we have worked with a variety of reinforcement activities. We played subtraction checkers, modified mankala, and demonstrated subtracting larger numbers with base-ten manipulatives. The students did a nice job, and they really enjoyed experiencing subtraction in some new ways.

Art History Class

The boys used their creative sides today in art history. The boys worked to sketch their apartments in the style of Pablo Picasso, and will soon add additional details and color.

Student Blogger

Our student blogger decided to tell us a bit more about our classroom pets:

Our classroom turtle is awesome and cute. He likes to get stuck in his water bowl. He also likes to eat tomatoes. He also has a house and a friend named Siego. Siego likes to bump in to his window when he wants to see Chompers.

Terrific job!
