We are all excited to have completed the SBAC testing. All of our students worked so hard and should be proud of what they accomplished on this very challenging assessment.

We are excited to be working on the transdisciplinary theme of How the World Works. Students are inquiring into how decisions by consumers and producers affect and and are affected by the economy. Many of our students have become entrepreneurs! This has lead them to learn first hand about supply and demand and other economic principals. They are paid each day they come to school and have expenses to consider when spending their money. It has been exciting to see how creative our students can be. They have had great questions to help us explore our topics.

In reading and writing, students are exploring many different forms of poetry. They are considering rhyme and rhythm and learning to decipher the author's meaning. In writing we are experimenting writing different poems and looking at the world around us for inspiration.

In math we have been focused on finding the perimeter of polygons and determining the symmetry of different shapes. We've been having lots of fun using what we know about symmetry to create symmetrical designs.
