Last week was a short but full week. Students continued to work on subtraction, patterns and equations in math. In science, we watched a dissection of a pigs heart and finished up our study of the circulatory system. In socials studies the kids finished up thier maps. In language arts, we finished our discussions about Remembrance Day and why we recognize this day every year.
Here is what we hope to teach next week:
