A Fresh Start!

Happy Belated New Year to everyone! Coming back in January is like a fresh start for all of us. We were excited to see each other and talk about our holiday. It was a great writing topic to start with, too.

This week in Math, students have been using the Number Line strategy to solve equations with regrouping. We were fortunate to have Mrs. Quinn -LaFleche work in our classroom before the holiday demonstrating this with us. We also worked on a variety of math problem solving strategies.

This is Maverick using the SmartBoard to explain his problem solving.

Ben and Alan worked together to solve a rubix cube problem.

We love painting! In the photos below, students learned about Ted Harrison's art and his techniques. They then created their own paintings.

This week also worked well for creating snowy, city scenes, using pastels and sponge painting.

Beautiful!

We have a busy month of learning ahead of us. We'll keep you updated with our blog!
