We have been busy learning to compare and measure in science. We are measuring with different tools and comparing our results in small groups. In math we are adding and solving math word problems. In reading we are learning the short vowel sounds and we are adding describing words to our writing. This week we had special visitors, including a dentist to teach us about dental hygiene. We even got to practice brushing! Our fifth grade helpers presented powerpoints they created about different cultures around the world. Check out all our fantastic learning!
