Today in class the students completed a variety of math activities as a follow up after their unit one math test and also to get a head start on the unit two math unit that we will be beginning tomorrow. Have 
a look at the photos in the slide show below.Some students were working on brainpop.com which is a very popular site with the students that you should have a look at if you get the chance.Overall I was extremely pleased with the results of the math test where the median score for the students was 85%. A few silly errors were made by some students but it was a learning experience for all of the class and I hope you can find a few minutes to look over the test with your child and return it signed to me as soon as possible.Today we were fortunate to have a past student of 5th grade, Ben Wu, come into class and show off his expertise in animating power-point. The class were suitably impressed with what had to show them and I am sure even the brightest ‘tech kids’ in the class learned something new.Thanks very much for your entertaining and informative presentation Ben.
Students, for your homework tonight, please make a comment on one of the following topics. It should be at least two paragraphs in length. You may write on more than one topic if you wish but each topic needs a minimum two paragraph response.1. What did you like about Ben’s talk and why? What compliments would you like to pay him?2. If you had to go down and be an expert in a 4th grade classroom what would you teach them?3. How did you do on your math test? Are you happy or disappointed with your results?
