In today's math time, students worked with a partner to complete a performance task that required understanding of whole number concepts. Before students began working, we took time to discuss the rubric that will be used to assess their work.

In our inquiry time, students researched the how we measure electricity usage by devices They made jot notes to represent what they learned. They then read about how children living in different parts of the world use electricity. They calculated electricity consumption for each device used as well as total used in a day. Ask your child what they learned.

While students worked on their research, I met with students individually to discuss their science fair progress. Most students are up-to-date with their progress. Please talk to and check your child's agenda to find out if they have any work to do on their project over the weekend.  Students worked to generate questions that need to be answered about their topic while the do background research next week.

In language, students used colons and quotations makes to show their understanding of usage.

As a treat, we all had art time. Students started a scratch-art project. The goal today was to cover a page with patches of oil pastels.
