Blog for the week of April 3rd

We had an interesting week! We have worked really hard in our Washington, D.C. groups and have really enjoyed opening mail from various places in Washington, D.C. Our time and effort in mailing those letters have really paid off! Each group is attempting to finish their posters and some are even starting to write paragraphs! Thanks for your help researching over break.

In math, we have learned about congruent shapes, symmetry, and slides, flips and turns. We will continue with shapes next week as we learn about area and perimeter.

We had a visit from a firefighter this week. He taught us how to call 911 in the event of an emergency. We discovered, however, that some students still do not know their phone number or address! Please make sure your student knows this information in case of an emergency!

The other exciting news is that we finished Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets this week. We have enjoyed discussing our favorite parts of the book and writing about it in our journal as well.

Have a wonderful three day weekend!
