UPDATED: We all needed extra practice with fractions, so our test was moved to Wednesday, March 31, 2021.  Also, we are having our Easter Party on Wednesday. Thank you to all who have signed up and sent things in. Have a wonderful Easter!

We are starting the third trimester today. I am so very proud of all that has been accomplished this year, especially with all the challenges we have faced. The children have been wonderful and I am sure that they will continue to be!

The children have been working on their Women of Influence reports and we will finish presenting them this week.

We are beginning Living Museum this week. It will be once a week, and as of now, Mr. Stainkamp will be bringing different critters into our classroom.

Math

We are finishing up fractions this week. We will have the Chapter 9  test on Friday. I encourage the students to use virtual manipulatives that are available in Google Classroom. Also, we have been playing games on Progidygame.com and in ThinkCentral to help reinforce concepts.
