1. In math we discovered a short cut to find the area of ANY triangle. Simply take the base, multiply it by the width and divide by 2! We know this works because ANY triangle is always half of a parallelogram. To find the are of a parallelogram you take its base and multiply it by its height.

2. Mrs. Brown came to teach engineering.

3. We read more of Hatchet. We thought it was brilliant that the character Brian made a fish pond to hang on to fresh fish.

4. In literacy we worked on our acrostic poems. I look forward to publishing some of the poems on the blog tomorrow.

Thanks to all those families that have come to conferences. It has been such a pleasure meeting with you!
