Writing our Going on an Australian Animal Hunt stories....

In social studies this week we have continued to study the Aborigines and their influence on Australia. Some of the animals have started to trickle in! We can't wait until our room is full of them!

In math this week we continued fractions and took our math assessment tests to see how far we have come this quarter.  We will show you those at conferences.

In TNT we made friendship bracelets for the children at our sister school in Haiti.
