Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

Today we finished up a math project where the students had to build a snowman. They had to budget money, think about weight (in both ounces and pounds) and work together to construct the snowmen. The results were some super cute snowmen!  We also had a great time at the assembly and party today!

Award-Winning Writing

Today we celebrated the students' hard work writing opinion essays. They shared their writing in small groups and then decided on awards for each other.

Revising Opinion Essays

Last week we cut up our stories and lists and taped them together to form opinion essays. We then added in transitions to make it flow. We are now in the process of revising and then editing this work. A few students even started to publish today. They are turning out great!
