Wednesday

Today we finished the story of Matt Henson. It was a good biography, it teaches us to work hard. It also teaches the students that in the face of great disappointment, they can still do what needs to be done without carrying on. We had our spelling test today. In math we learned out to subtract fractions that required borrowing a one from the whole number. We used number-lines and the standard algorithm. We will just touch on this briefly and revisit it later in the year. In social studies we watched a fun video about Lewis and Clark. Then students played a game to test their understanding of the trip. Finally, we wrote supplies that we think would have been taken on the trip. Students went to music today.
