Mathtastic Monday

Today's Math lesson was all about patterns. Fake easy! We stumbled through some difficult problems today, and I am happy to report that there was no tearing- of -the -hair/crying/stomping/throwing-of-the-paper or general defeatism.  Every kid in the class had to go back to the drawing board several times. The great news about this is that these kids exhibited loads of persistence!  Bravo 201!

Today we......

• discussed how and why the French explored North America, claiming land and potential Fur Trade profits in the name of New France.
• worked with partners to discuss the key points about the Fur Trade
• worked with this same partner to take a close look at the reading and answer questions. 
• attended an assembly in the CAC that featured Spanish Guitar and Flamenco. Ole.
