Quote of the Day - Bringing a little inspiration to your day! 

                                                                                                                                                                    

Take a look at what we accomplished today!

Inquiry into Math:

We continued expanding our knowledge of circumference by making bubbles. The students blew bubbles on pieces of white paper and then mesaured across each circle to find the radius and the diameter. Then we used the formulas that we learned yesterday to find the circumference.

Tomorrow we will continue working with on understand the differences and similarities between the radius and diameter. We will also focus on how to use each formula. 

Inquiry into Language:

Today we used our language period to perpare for our rehersal for the afternoon. The students really got into practicing their performance by coming up with more steps for their choreography. 

All spelling activities are due on Wednesday. We will have our spelling test on Friday.
