Mrs. Lewis' 4th grade mathematicians explored measuring their shoe length with non-standard objects (legos, tiles, and cubes) and then compared their calculations to measuring with rulers. We recorded our results on a line plot and concluded that measuring with accuracy is an important, real world skill!

Ms. Diaz's class rang in the New Year with fun and learning! Students got creative by coloring festive crowns, explored different New Year traditions through stories, practiced addition and subtraction using their 12 grapes, and ended the day with a countdown to the New Year. They also made 12 wishes while enjoying their yummy grapes. A very sweet way to start the year!

Going Gaga!!
Before the break, PE classes have been learning all about Gaga ball-a fun, fast-paced, dodgeball-like game played in a “pit”. It's a mix of dodging, striking, jumping, aiming, and running. Mrs. King wrote a grant to the Dalton Education Foundation last year to fund the equipment. Thank you DEF for providing our school with a new game that is fun for ALL students!
