What's Happening in Room 307

Wow! I can't believe how fast time is passing. We have been so busy digging our way through the curriculum. In math, we have moved beyond our geometry unit and are beginning our study of fractions and decimals. We will add and subtract decimals and fractions as well as mixed numbers. We will understand equivalent fractions and use them in problem solving situations. In science, we are investigating forces and motion and simple machines. We have several labs scheduled where we will experience hands-on applications of the concepts to be learned. After traveling through colonial America, we are approaching conflict with Britain and the causes, events, and results of the revolutionary War. Hold on tight!! It's gonna be a wild ride.
