Floor Hockey

We began our unit in P.E. on floor hockey this week.  Students will learn the skills associated with the sport and then put their skills to use in several weeks during scrimmages on the basketball court. 


In science we have moved away from tie-dye to looking at plant and animal adaptations.  We will be shifting even further at looking at how individual differences within each species help it to survive.

In math we have begun our unit on measurement and fractions.  We have taken it slow at first, using many manipulatives to help students visualize what  is taking place. Within the next few weeks, students will learn formulas and shortcuts for comparing fractions and adding and subtracting them with like and unlike denominators.
