New Beginnings

Hello! We wanted to let you know about some of the things we've been working on.

Mixed Media Art
One of our most recent art projects have had to do with mostly scale.
This art project contains things that represent us.
We used magazine picture to make a back round of sky and land that we thought represented us then we used pictures that Tiiu (the best teacher ever!) took for us and cut our heads out then we chose a body from the magazines thinking about scale and attached our heads on to it.

You can find our pieces of art just out side of our class room.

Mission Statement
310 would like to have fun while learning and respecting each other.

Lattice Multiplication
In class we are learning about lattice multiplication which can be an easier way of doing multiplication. Most of us have been able to use it to multiply large numbers together. Want to know more?

Newspapers
We are each developing a newspaper about ourselves. We learned that headlines describe a story using big, bold words. The byline is the name of the author. Articles start with an introduction that summarizes the story in a sentence or two. They may also include captions and pictures.

Types of Sentences
We have been learning about the four different types of sentences. We have actions to help us remember them. Ask me, and I will show you! We also wrote and performed little skits about them.
