Power writing and math


We are working so hard to add adjectives to our writing to make it more interesting. Today we did a five minute power writing. Five minutes of pure silence!! Pure bliss!!
We are stretching our brains in math and doing things that we thought were impossible. Not for us!! We are finding the missing number in a number sentence. Check out these mathematicians!! It helps to use a part part part whole map to see the number that is missing.

Safety Town

This year at Safety Town we were taught pedestrian safety. We walked around the "town" using the lights and crosswalks. We also rode jeeps through the "streets" safely.
