Creativity

The students were thrilled to have the opportunity to hear the stories shared by a great creative author, Graham Salisbury.  He shared some very funny stories of his childhood.  The students were eager to get back to writing thier Story-Telling Island piece and put in characters and events from their own life experiences.

In math the class continues to move forward on decimals, fractions, and percents.  They are inspired to learn how to handle math situations that they face every day in the real world.  Discounts on sale items (30 percent off), grades on tests represented as percents (90 percent is an A), and adding money have all been explored and practiced as we learn.

Planet Inquiry Projects have been shared, and the class enjoyed learning about each others planets.
