We are over halfway through The Tale of Despereaux! Students have been making great predictions and inferences about what might happen next. In math, we are learning about decimals. We are also looking at the relationship between a fraction and a decimal (5/10 = .5, 83/100 = .83). In Science, we learned about matter and gravity (ask your child what these are!) This week, we are learning about the 7 continents and 5 major oceans on Earth. We came up with a mnemonic device to help us remember the 7 continents:

Elizabeth Ate Nine Sticky Apples At Audrina's/Amelia's

Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa, Australia, Antarctica

Congratulations to AF for being chosen as Ms. Olson's student of the month. She was awarded by Mr. Boland at the Awards Ceremony on Tuesday.

Have a fantastic week, 

Ms. Olson
