Good Afternoon Everyone,

Andrea if you are checking the blog - we want you to know that we hope that you get better soon! We can't wait to have you come back as we have many, many questions for you.  When we heard about you having appendicitis we had to find out what that meant.  We learned a lot!  We learned that most people who have appendicitis are under 35 years of age.  You are under that age. That the appendix is 1.3 cm by 8 cm.  That appendicitis can hurt!

With Mr. Demman we transferred our knowledge from working with charts to exploring pattern ideas on Geoboards!  We discovered similarities between charts and Geoboards as well as a few differences.  We looked at the blue prints making connections between geoboards, shapes and mathematics.

With Mrs. Bowles we shared our patterns from yesterday. It was interesting because we all didn't make the same patterns using the beginning
2, 6, ___, ___, ___
Some people made a repeating pattern and others made an increasing pattern.

In our science inquiry, Mrs. Bowles got us a little of track.  We started talking about what we need to take to Mars and we ended up watching a video about astronauts celebrating American Thanksgiving on the International Space Station.

In gym, we continued to play pillow polo and floor hockey.  Congratulations to Taiya in Mrs. Peterson's class who scored two goals and said,  "Today is the best day of my life!"
