Today in Betsy's math class, we worked on factors and multiples, like what was the least common multiple (LCM) and the greatest factor (GFC). We played HOG. In Kim's math class, we talked about equivalent fractions. We did a fraction sheet where we had cards and you had to show the fraction, write the fraction, and write the decimal. We played fraction dominoes. We played a game matching equivalent fractions. In class, some people finished our poems, we looked up vocabulary words, and we wrote in our journals. In art, we worked on our special projects. We also read. Now, we have Spanish.

Today in Betsy's math class we worked on some of our stuff and got our math folders organized and worked on the things that needed to be corrected. In Kim's math we worked on fractions. We talked about equivalent fractions and reviewed fractions. During class we read, wrote a final draft of our poems, worked on a synonyms packet and spelling vocabulary. We played a game like Around the World but with our books with the genre, main characters, setting, and favorite parts. In music, we read the book, "Following the Drinking Gourd."

In Betsy's math class we worked on Dynamath and we worked on long multiplication (and some worked on really long division). In Kim's math we worked on coordinates and finding our place on a graph. We also worked on our individual packets. Mine was a paper with Roman numbers and facts about ocean animals. In Music, we worked on ukuleles and recorders. We had class. In class, we worked on spelling and looked up words we didn't know. We worked on our Social Studies Log. We wrote our final draft of our "Through the Looking Glass" poems. Now we are going to Art.

First Day of the Switch by Noah and Connor

Today in Betsy's math class we did Dynamath and we played Hog where you roll a die with a die inside and then you multiply the two numbers. At the end you add them altogether. In Kim's math we added the money from School Stuff Store, we made $13.67. We worked on directions (north, south, east, and west) and tried to find a treasure. We also did our brown packets. In class we worked on some stories and we colored in the places our ancestors were from on a map. We also looked at some rules George Washington wrote. He copied them, but he was a horrible speller. We corrected the mistakes when we could find them. We went to Art and worked on collages with only cold colors. In class we worked on a listening project where we had to draw different stuff. Kim read the directions and we did it. Next we have Spanish.

Today we played the Revolutionary Name Game.  We had Poetry Day and we did a good job reciting "Paul Revere's Ride".  We went to Hollins for the Local Hero Award.

Today we had math.  Kim's class organized the School Stuff Store.  It will open tomorrow!  We also worked on the Revolutionary War.  We are each researching one important person from the Revolution and on Friday we are going to play a game with those people.  We looked at different paintings about the Revolution.  We worked on our class poem for Poetry Day this Friday.  We put together all of our Looking Glass poems.  We have Me in 2011 in the Looking Glass, Me in Jamestown in 1611, Me in Werowocomoco, and Me in the Colonies in 1711.  We did a Scavenger Hunt with different colonial jobs.

We have Art and Spanish.
