Thank you to all parents that were able to attend our Cardboard Challenge Arcade on Friday, October 14th!! Students in Grades K-4 attended and seemed to enjoy playing the games created by our 5th graders. Everyone put in hard work creating their games and it showed!! Here are a few pictures

                    


We are in school on Halloween. Students are allowed to wear a costume, however, it must relate to academics. The costume must be appropriate. It must not have any gore and can not be gross. No masks and no clown costumes will be allowed.

All classes have finished place value, rounding decimals, and powers of ten. We are now working on the multiplication algorithm and the division algorithm. Students love calling this "the old fashioned way!"

We will soon be moving on to Order of Operations. Remember PEMDAS (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally)? Then Operations with Decimals ~ adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. And then Fractions. We will add and subtract fractions with both like and unlike denominators. We will also multiply and divide fractions.

Thank you to everyone that went with us on the field trip to the Heritage Center and to Bentonville Battleground!
