Student behavior continues to be excellent during Mass.
After Mass, students completed the fractions quiz and seemed to do very well. Our new chapter is on measuring in feet and yards. Please continue to practice the application of basic facts in story problems or using mental math. Mental math might fun in the car on the way to practice or dance or other activities.
In reading students completed the unit 5 assessment and worked in netbooks finishing up any powerpoint projects they hadn't completed.
In social studies we read how trees become paper towels. The term flow chart was introduced as well as using maps to track routes.
Unfortunately, there has been some rough play during soccer games at recess today, so there will be no soccer tomorrow.
Hopefully, the students can get back to playing regular soccer.
