Not only are we learning about different cultures, we are also learning map skills which help us connect the cultures of the world and where they are located.

This year we learned about the rainforests in the world. It was amazing to discover how many animals and plants are found in the rainforests. It is important to care for planet Earth.

Science takes us out of this world! We learn about space exploration and the planets and moons in our solar system. Philip

Just before noon you will find us in our all-purpose room having lunch. Sometimes we have special lunches such as pizza, bagels, and sandwiches. We even have Chinese food on special days. Valentina

After we eat we get to go outside for recess. At this time we get to play games with our friends. Matthew

Once a week our class visits the art room to express our creativity . We just made clay pots and are learning about famous artists. Jordan

We use computers everyday in our class. Once a week our whole class uses laptops. We research topics on the internet, create stories, and sometimes we play computer games. Ken
