This week in our classroom your child has been completing an individualized research on at least one plant or animal that lives below sea level.  They created a vertical number line and graphed the elevations at which the organisms live.

We are on our 2nd week of Daily Math Practice (Bell Ringer).  Each day consists of 5 practice problems that focus on different math skills or standards. Friday's problems are designed like a quick assessment in our classroom.  If students have followed along and participated all week, this is an easy way to get a good grade.
