Happy Pi Day

National Pi Day was March 14th. 

February 2020

This year is a Leap Year.  Students reviewed how to use  Flipgrid, from our ESOL project, and scanned  QR codes to reveal Leap Year activities.  Fourth and Fifth grades enjoyed using Flipgrid.  It was a fun way to integrate technology.
                                                   
                                                 

                                                 

Break Out Box Review

The week before February Vacation is the perfect time to review and celebrate what we've learned this year.  Using a Break Out Box is an interesting and fun way to review.  Students earned stars for correct answers in their group's personalized ELA/math review questions.  These stars led to winning a key that opened the Break Out Box for a small prize.  Review questions included topics like properties of multiplication, simplifying fractions, making inferences, folklores, equivalent fractions, improper fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, symmetry, text elements, and character/setting/plot/conflict. I hope everyone enjoys their break.  

2020 Goals

We set personal school goals for the end of the year.  We placed them in this box and sealed it.  I can't wait to open it in June to see how we did!

Composting Slideshow

We have students who are passionate about composting.  This COMPOSTING slideshow, created by some students at Great Falls, is so interesting.  Enjoy!

Here are the students in their own words.
