The 3rd and 4th graders are settling in. We are all loving school and our new teachers.
We are learning all kinds of things. In Social Studies we are discovering maps and how to read them.
We are all scientists during science class and we are discovering new things everyday.
Math is my favorite subject and we are learning place value. I am really enjoying my students. They are all very smart and a lot of fun.
The 5th and 6th graders are also settling in. They are all excited to learn.
In Math class we are reading, writing and changing decimals.
Science in 5th and 6th grade has been interesting. We are learning about our weather and why it changes.
I hope the students are having as much fun as I am.
Hope you all have a great October. Have a Happy Holloween.
