Today we held a mock election in our classroom. We chose three issues that were important to us (green energy, healthcare and child care) and compared the parties' platforms on these issues. Then each student was able to cast a vote for the candidate they wanted. We should know the BHS results tomorrow.
In math, we learned about expanded notation, and how that helps us understand the value of a digit in a number. for example, 457 can be written as 400+50+7. We got dice and were able to practice writing 2, 3, or 4 digit numbers this way.
In LA we learned ways to make the long a sound (ay, a_e, ai, ea). We are working with a new word list this week to help practice spelling concepts.
In Science we learned about forms of energy. Ask your child what the 4 main types of energy are (light, heat, sound, food).
Reminder: Please return demographic and digital citizenship forms if you have not done so yet.
