Math & Science Monday to Friday -  This week we are going do a problem task, some problem strings, and more work on our curriculum for Math. For Science once all students are done setting up their Google Sites electronic portfolios we will begin the Coding in Minecraft unit so that kids can practice some coding before we start our robotics unit. We will also start fish trapping this week! See below for more info. Writer's Elective (Monday & Friday only) - Students should be done with their 9/11 research and taking notes. They are then typing up their rough drafts and using Bing Chat to give them feedback to make it better. Their final drafts will be published on our class book!
