SYMPHONY FIELD TRIP: Thank you to all our parents who joined us on the field trip. The kids really enjoyed the symphony experience and the museum as well. I appreciated the wonderful behavior of the students on the bus and at the places we went. Below are some pictures from the day.

  We continue to review all concepts in our geometry unit and added in measuring missing angle of quadrilaterals. Students have been creating a concept dictionary and quizzing each other using geoboards and white boards.
Reading: 
We began The Fighting Ground an historical fiction novel set in the Revolutionary War period. The students will be choosing an person from history, reading a biography about the person, and completing a short project. They will also create a paper mache' bust of this person in art.
Writing:
  Most students have completed their president biographies. Those who have not know they should finish these at home over the weekend. They can share it with me via their google docs when finished.
