I wanted to congratulate all of the students who worked hard at home to create such wonderful Cornfield Characters. Students' creativity really shined through on this project.

In the classroom we've been working on many new and exciting things. We've been studying about the solar system in science. Students are becoming experts on a planet and putting together a nonfiction writing sample to show their expertise.  In math we have been learning the CUBES strategy for solving word problems. We have also been learning about bar graphs and pictographs. In literacy we've been focusing on responding to literature.

If students would like to practice on IXL, some great choices for them would be P.4, P.5, P.6, P.9, and P.10.
