3rd Grade- This week we are learning about triangles. We will learn about the different types of triangles. For example,equilateral, isosceles, scalene, and right triangles. We will have a small quiz on Thursday over quadrilaterals and triangles.


4th Grade- We are working with solving word problems by adding and subtracting fractions. We will have a quiz on Thursday over adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers.


5th- We are going to learn about different triangles and how we can identify them with their angles. We will have a quiz on Thursday over quadrilaterals and triangles.


Projects- We are still learning about the earth! I hope your kids have shared about all our cool mini experiments we have been doing. We are going to start creating our final project as a tribe, which will be a lap-book. Here is a link to see what they are going to make!
