MATH
In Math we finished the Addition and Subtraction chapters. This week we started Multiplication. to help the students learn and memorize their multiplication facts they will be given a multiplication "flip-book," multiplication wheels, a multiplication chart to fill in, and they will complete Multiplication Times Facts, which is a timed test. After completing each quiz with correct answer, students will receive an ice cream scoop to hang up for their achievements.

SCIENCE
We have learned many things about animals. We discussed biomes and habitats, vertibrates vs. invertibrates, the different types of animal groups, animal adaptations, behaviors, and food chains. To conclude our animal unit each student had to choose an animal, research it, and create a final project to present to the class. Each student did a great job on their project! All projects are now displayed above their lockers.
