MATH
Today we had our introductory lesson into Patterns in Numbers and Geometry. We reviewed some key terms and the students had a chance to use devices to play patterning math games.

LANGUAGE
The students have been asking to go to the library more frequently so that is where we spent our language period today!

UOI
Today we began studying how magazine articles are created. This is in preparation for our final OWA! Students have to write a magazine article on the perfect classroom. Today we spent some time looking at some magazines. Please bring in any magazines you may have at home!

Have a great night!

Mrs. Hocevar :)
