Our first week back has been outstanding! We have been reading about "A World In Motion" in Science, and will be doing a fun experiment with balloon rockets. Our Social Studies newspaper is all about "Early Arizona Mining". Everyone has done a good job working with each other on their classroom assignments.
We have been focusing on solving word problems and division during our Math lessons. They are beginnning to understand how important it was to learn their multiplication table, as they see how much easier it makes learning to divide.
Just like the early rule we learned, "Use your addition to check your subtraction." It is equally important now that they always, "Use your multiplication to check your division."
Our Character Lesson for January is Fairness. They are all making an effort to play by the rules, take turns and share, be open-minded and listen to others, not to take advantage of others, and not to blame others carelessly. I was very impressed with the Fairness posters they drew for our Big Dog Art Gallery.
