Maddax, Mada and Tori working some morning math problems for me.

We are working on adding and subtracting fractions, it can be rather challenging but the students are doing great!!!

Brandon G. and Lila doing a close read of the article "Malala's Dream" in our Weekly Reader this week.

Malala is the young girl in Pakistan that continued to go to school even after the Taliban said girls were not allowed. She was shot by the Taliban and survived, she was awarded the International Children's Peace Prize. This article has lead us to some great conversations about what a great nation we live in.

SCIENCE TEST IS NEXT TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19TH, STUDY, STUDY!!!!
