Thursday, December 7, 2023 Homework

Math - None (Today we worked on the Concept Check workbook pages in our text book. This shows me how they are doing thus far with adding and subtracting of decimals. They did their work in class and turned them into me. We are ready for our Math Test on Tuesday, December 12th. Please keep practicing multiplication flashcards at home as we will be doing a lot of multiplication in the next few weeks.)
 
Science - None (Today we did a packet on wood vs, steel roller coasters. The students loved this packet and learned a lot. It taught us about the forces at amusement parks and rides and the material they are made out of.)
 
Social Studies - None (Today we did a paper version Escape Room in pairs on the Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They had to solve each clue card and come to me for the code for that level. By the end, they had use my codes to solve it and escape. This was a lot of fun. I'm very proud of them.)
