In the Classroom

We had a very busy week! In math, students have been continuing their study of fractions. We learned about benchmark fractions as well as fractions of a set. In writing, students read and practiced different types of poetry. I am impressed every day with the details the poets in our room are using! In science, we began our last unit over life cycles. Through this unit, we will be hatching chicks! Here are some pictures of our incubator and the eggs. 



We also had a guest speaker come as part of our weather unit we finished last week.  Zach Paul, the meteorologist from KRCG, came on Thursday. He was able to show us real pictures of things we talked about in our unit, as well as teach us about new ideas like radar maps and cold/warm fronts. 



Finally, we had a wonderful baby shower Thursday afternoon for Baby Fox! A huge thank you to the parents who organized and threw the shower, and to all the families who donated gifts and gift cards. We are so thankful and appreciative!
