A former parent sent this to me. I think it is a thought provoking video.
Enjoy!

Other Happenings

The first quarter has been very exciting! The groups are doing a lot. 4th grade math is moving into decimals. We are looking at what decimals really are and how to identify decimals and the use of decimals. In Integrated Studies the 3rd and 4th graders are doing the culminating events for the novel All the Way Home by Patricia Reilly Giff. We hope to have a picnic to commemorate the Mrs. Warniki picnic in the book. Each student will select their own projects to complete in the next few weeks.
The second graders have finished the book Bunnicula and we are making podcasts to demonstrate fluency in reading and creativity in the production.

Wow How Time flies!

Happy Halloween! The first quarter is over and we are into the second quarter of the year. In 5th grade math we are doing fraction. The use of multiplication facts is important for use of fraction renaming and common denominators. In Integrated Studies we are continuing to read Clader Game. We made a mobile for the Gala. The mobile is an extension of the novel. We are all looking forward to reading some more of the story and finishing the book.
We are video conferencing with the 5th grade math class at Tremont. Mrs. Ostrowski (the Gifted Intervention Specialist) and I have shared problem solving puzzles. The students have helped each other solve the problems. We are having fun with our video buddies!
