Frantic Friday

Dear parents and students,

It’s Friday and it was a frantic day today. We started off the day with the spelling test. Next, we did table discussions about the homework on Input/Output tables; the students even traded their patterns for number 7 with each other. Afterwards, we switched to the new lesson: modeling with patterns. This lesson along with the one on Monday takes the mathematical concept of input/output tables and applies it to real life situations. Today, we looked at shapes; we took geoboards and we built squares in increasing size and measured their perimeter. We concluded by taking a note on how to find the patterns from the chart using pattern rules. 

In UOI, the students continued working on their research and some students are starting their hypothesis! Here are some pictures from the research session.

Also, DRA's have gone home today. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about them. 

In the afternoon, we also had out assembly for the Inquirer winners this year. Here are the pictures of the winners.
