Education Week has begun and we had a liturgy in the gym this afternoon. Don't forget to drop by on Wednesday morning between 8 and 9 am to check out what we have been up to in our classroom. Outside in the hall you will also find some of the interesting things we have been working on. Make sure you download a free QR Reader app so you can scan our Earth Day pledges:)
We also worked on the Car Caravan math problem first block.

Here is the 'math' we saw in the photo

One car=one penny

Students were asked to estimate and justify the number of cars in the caravan. One group was the closest with an estimate of just over a 1,000. The point was not the actual number but the process and reasonable answers. I still haven't told them the exact number of cars (2,500) but many of them agreed that their estimates of one and two hundred were too small.
We continue to take care of our mealworms and they continue to grow. They are constantly shedding (molting) their exoskeletons as they get bigger and bigger. Jake and Nick's mealworms are getting very big...I guess they are remembering to bring in a small piece of fruit to feed them!
