Students are having fun and practicing math skills while using the Prodigy Math site.  It is a fun and interactive way for 3rd Graders to study math concepts.  It is getting rave reviews...

Gabe says, "I play it everyday because it is so much fun and you can do lots of math and can rescue pets at the same time."

Alexa says, "It's really fun because I didn't know you can combine math with games and you can customize your character."

Election Day!

After reading the story, Lillian's Right to Vote, the class discussed the struggles of black women and their right to vote in the United States.  The story is about an elderly African American woman, who is en route to vote, and is remembering her family’s turbulent voting history.  

Also, students learned about the election process and had a mock election.  The candidates were pizza, hamburger, and ice cream.  The winner was PIZZA!!
