What Did Students Do?

This week, students participated in an in-school presentation from The Mustard Seed. Caleb came to our classroom and shared more about what this organization does and who they support. He invited the students to share more about their understanding of what it means when someone is experiencing homelessness. He talked about how kindness, compassion and empathy can make such a huge difference in how we see, think about and care about those experiencing homelessness. Students created a visual journal page about what they learned.

In math, students began interpreting algebraic expressions. Students learned that solving algebraic equations involves starting with what is known to figure out what is unknown. They applied their learning to solve algebraic puzzles. Please ask your child to tell you more about this. Here is the link to the puzzles if you'd like to do some with your child!
