After the snow...

We had a good break from school due to the snowstorm, but we are glad to be back to normal. We learned a lot today and would love to share some of these things with you!
In math, we are finishing up a unit on multiplication and division. We go to other classes for math, but all of our groups work on the same things. We are just beginning a unit on fractions and decimals.
This afternoon we worked on a program called Science Court. Through this, we put together electric circuits using a battery, wires, and a lightbulb. Once we had mastered that, we figured out how to add a switch. We learned that we could open and close the circuit by using metal brads and a paper clip! Some of our groups also made a buzzer buzz, and created vibrations as well.
This week is "Bring Your Family To School Week" and we had some adults come read with us at the end of the day. We also had several adults come on Monday. If you did not get to come but would like to, shoot Ms. D an email and we can work something out for next week!
In art class this morning we made special Valentine's Day pattern quilts. Some of us decided to take them home today, and some left them so we can use them as decorations for tomorrow's party.
Thank you for visiting our blog!
