This is a busy time of year!  Not only do we have our special holiday celebrations, we also work very hard learning.

We have worked on regrouping in subtraction and are now subtracting 4 digit numbers! We worked on learning how to tell time better and are now beginning multiplication.

In Social Studies we are learning many new terms such as immigrant and ethnic neighborhood and how important they are in relation to our country's history. 

After several weeks studying space and the solar system we are back on Earth learning about the Periodic Table of elements, atoms and molecules.

Last but not least, we were very fortunate to have a special visitor in our classroom for almost a month.  His name was Amazon and he is Maxwell's pet tarantula.  We are all hoping he will be able to visit again soon!
