Sinking, Floating, and All things in between!

The maiden voyages of the S.S. Titanic, S.S. Awesome, S.S. JEBMCBP, and the S.S. Caution Crazies were a huge success, well for the most part. We used pennies as passengers to see how many passengers would survive on our lifeboats. Our lifeboats held several passengers before they sunk! I was proud of how well our experiment turned out. I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Just a Bloggin'

We have been working on so many things in class. Our next big thing is the Alabama Direct Assessment of Writing on February 22. We are writing everyday in class. We are also working on division of decimals and converting fractions to decimals. We are also reviewing several reading skills such as author's purpose, cause and effect, drawing conclusions, and fact and opinion. Keep up the good work at home. We're in the home stretch now! We're halfway there!

AMSTI Videos

Keep in mind while viewing these videos that we are just beginning to become independent thinkers. I will continue to post, so you can watch our progress.
