LCM and GCF, Auction, and Holiday Fun!

I wish all of you a very happy holiday season! I have enjoyed getting to know and teach your children.  They are a fun group!  I hope 2017 brings you joy and happiness.

LCM and GCF in Math
Students have been learning the difference between LCM and GCF in math.  

To help them remember the difference between the two terms, groups of students made up songs, poems, and phrases.  We had some very lively performances! A couple of groups gave me permission to share their movie clip with you:

Classroom Auction

Students have been earning  Burke Bucks in anticipation of my year end auction.  The students have been so well behaved this year I decided to do two auctions.  The first was held just before the holiday break.  They were fierce in their bidding and all walked away with something from the auction.  The next auction will be held at the end of the school year.

Holiday Fun!

We were fortunate to have the high school chorus and band come to our classroom to share some holiday cheer.  It was nice to see some OQS alumni among the students. They sounded great!

Later in the day, the 5th grade enjoyed making holiday arts and crafts to take home with them.  I hope they shared them with you. Thank you to all of the volunteers who came in to help.  We couldn't have done it without you.  Happy Holidays!
