Communities

In social studies, we've been learning about communities. This week we learned about rural, suburban, and urban communities. We worked with a team to create a collage of illustrations that describe a specific type of community. 

Nearpod

In math, Mrs. Patten created a presentation on an app called, "Nearpod" and we all got to follow along with the presentation using our student iPads. Throughout the lesson we had opportunities to solve problems on the iPad, and we were able to share our thinking and strategies with the rest of the class. Afterwards, we were able to even do our independent work on the iPad!

Math Station Fun

At the end of our math class, we get to strengthen the skills we've learned throughout the year by working on Math Stations.
