March Madness

As part of Women's History Month each class in the school was assigned two women's basketball teams to follow during the tournament. We have American University and University of Michigan (I was NOT happy since this is Ohio State's big rival.). We researched the two universities and Tyler, Levi, Camdyn and Jayla make a slide for each college. Some students filled out their own brackets to predict who would win. It will be interesting to see if anyone in our class filled out a correct bracket. 

St. Patrick's Day

The students enjoyed our Lucky Charm fraction lesson in math as well as some yummy green punch. 

Math- We will wrap up Chapter 11: Understand Fraction Equivalence and Comparison with a test on Thursday. If you are interested in reading about what your child will be learning and expected to do, please look at the Chapter 11 Family Letter. The students continue to use Reflex to strengthen their fluency with multiplication. They are welcome to use it at home too.
