In Math we are continuing exploring and representing data. We will be having a quiz on Tuesday. It will cover the first 3 lessons of chapter 2.
Last week in Science we ended up focusing on bridges. Using just two pieces of paper, the children worked collaboratively with partners and created their own bridges that could hold over 100 pennies. I am so proud of their work.
