Top Three Things We Learned Today 

• In gym, we started stations where we did different activities to practice our dribbling skills around objects, passing, face off and shooting skills.
• This afternoon in science, Ms. Cowdy introduced centers which we will be doing to complete our light and shadow centers before the break.  There are six centers: shadow puppets, learning about refraction, concave and convex lens, re-directing the path of light, breaking light through a prism and testing items to see if they reflect.
• In math, we learned how to subtract with 0's and how to borrow.  Ms. Jones showed us a way to subtract a number like 200 by subtracting one away from both numbers.  We also learned a new card game for subtraction called Take It Away.
