Math Archdiocesan Assessment

In math, students had to complete a performance assessment for the Archdiocese independently. They were to plan a trip to Huntsville, Alabama to the US Space & Rocket Center. The students used a lot of math skills to complete the task and realized how expensive vacations cost. Some also enjoyed finding some first class tickets!




JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT

Thanks to Mrs. Bakchaus for being our parent volunteer and teaching our class Junior Achievement. We learned a lot about what it takes to run a business!

Lucky Limericks

The monthly poem for March is Limericks. We listened to various examples, learned a little history on Limericks, and then played a game writing Limericks. The only thing with the game, they were timed. THey had to think of the pattern fast!
