Fraction Fun!
Continental Math League
What is CML? It is a math competition to help students improve their reading
comprehension and math problem solving skills. HCA students in Grades 2 - 8
participate in this program. There are six higher level thinking problems on each
test lasting 30 minutes. The student from each grade with the highest combined
score of the three tests administered in January, February, & March will receive
a medal at the Student Recognition Ceremony in May. Good luck!
Baby, It's Cold Outside
What do you do when the weather is getting colder? You snuggle up with your friends, of course. Here are some friends having fun together at recess.
Oceans Away
The Lower School has begun their thematic unit on Oceans. We kicked off the unit with the Magic School Bus movie, Magic School Bus, Takes A Dive". The 3rd Grade will specifically focus on Sea Turtles and the Coral Reef. Feel free to send in any ocean themed stuffed animals or seashells so we can decorate our classroom.
The students are working on research papers about different types of Sea Turtles. Also, we have been tracking the migration of various sea turtles on the Sea Turtle Conservancy web site. Our favorites are Stella, a female Leatherback turtle, Colada, a Hawksbill turtle and Mr. Potato Head, a female Loggerhead turtle. Here is the web site, if your child would like to keep track at home.
