3, 2, 1, things you need to know about our class this week...

3 types of poems we've been working on writing are Bio-Poem, Haiku, and Cinquains.  I'm amazed at their writing...it's so fabulous and we can't wait to show you!

2 math skills we've been working on are organizing numbers into equal groups and Kojo's Math which is a tie in to our Ghana unit.  

1 activity we did today was "Stump Mr. DeKing!"  For two weeks now we've been trying to stump Mr. DeKing through FaceTime by asking questions about things we've learned about to see if he knows.  :)  It's been so fun!
