"Perfect practice makes perfect"    Week 1
 
Welcome Back!  Our school year has begun and we are off to a great start.  We began with a cooperative learning activity in creating the tallest tower using spaghetti and marshmallows.  Students had the opportunity to get to know each other while problem solving and working together in the challenge of building the tower.  We have practiced Learning conversations and established rules for the classroom.  In math we have taken the district wide pretest and fact test and started the topic of Place Value.  Our topic of study in science is health with a focus on the food groups and nutrition.  In English Language Arts, we have learned to choose a "just right book", and completed a "When I was little" writing assignment after reading the book, When I was little by Jamie Lee Curtis. In computer, we created an all about me Wordle.
