Tuesday, September 27th

We had a great day of learning!

Students took their first day of CogAT Testing.  We will continue at 8:00 tomorrow and 9:00 on Thursday.

We rotated through math stations.  Students utilized area models as a warm up for multi-digit multiplication.  We then took the area model strategy and used it to apply the partial products strategy.  These strategies directly connect to the standard algorithm  For examples of each method, check out the picture below.


Students used their comparing and contrasting skills to explore their drawings of our space pictures.  They were able to determine the different outcomes and perspectives from each exploration, either zoomed in or not.

 It was an exciting day in music with Mr. Brooks as the class had their first guitar lesson!!


Students received a field trip permission form for our walking field trip to Adair Park, where we will take a walk through history.  I will need only two chaperones for this trip, and chaperones will also need to pay the cost of the field trip.  Please contact me at csanders@csdecatur.net if you are available. Thanks!

We are looking forward to the 5th Avenue 5k next Saturday!  I would love to meet as a group before the 5k race that morning, to support each other and have a great time!  I will be on the lower field at F.AVE at 8:15 that morning.  We will walk around to start the race together at 9:00.  The Mayor's Mile begins after the 5k.  See you Saturday!
