March 25th: Student Showcase

-This was originally March 11th, but Mrs. Cook will be gone that week

-The showcase will feature student work from the 3rd quarter.

3rd-Middle School

Another busy week with a lot of writing and reading! We will have examples of the student's writing at the showcase in March. 3rd grade science is focused on animal characteristics and adaptations while 4th grade is studying plate tectonics and 5th/MS is learning about the different types of waves. In Social Studies all the grades are learning about the early civilizations of China. As always Math is the first thing we do each morning. Several students have mastered the multiplication and division tables through 12 and everyone else is close behind. One of the students' favorite websites is Free Multiplication Math Games | Multiplication.com. As I have suggested before, 15 minutes of ScootPad each night is a great idea! BTW ScootPad is now called Mosaic.
