Crew Learning
Expedition: To finish our study of geography, students put their learning together in a final product. Through writing, posters, or a skit, students demonstrated their learning about the similarities and differences of the geography of Colorado and another state.

HINTS AT HOME: Tell me about what you learned about the geography of Colorado and the other state you studied.


Math: This new unit focuses on geometry. So far we have been learning and identifying a line segment, ray, line, parallel lines, and intersecting lines.

HINTS AT HOME: Continue studying multiplication/division facts at home. There are tons of great internet/ipad/cell phone games/resources that make practicing these fun.




Electronic Progress Reports (EPRs): I hope everyone was able to view EPRs through Parent Portal. Please see the email sent home before break about grades this semester (or let me know if I need to resend it). If you have questions or concerns, I would be happy to meet with you!

More Time for Volunteers in the Classroom: I need help! If you can donate an hour of your time to help with taking down wall displays or clerical work, that would be fantastic. Also if you would like to come play math games every Friday at 1:45-2:15, you are welcome to join us. Thanks for the support!
