Mrs. Spence’s Class

I can hardly believe that this is the last day of January! Take a look at our January calendar and all that we’ve learned this month.

We learned the attributes of shapes like trapezoids, rhombuses, squares, and rectangles. We also categorized the shapes as quadrilaterals and/or parallelograms. Looking at the patterns, we discovered that that the blue rhombuses were even and composite; the orange squares were square numbers; the yellow rectangles were multiples of 3; the red trapezoids were prime and odd.

We measured our heights and used those measurements to find the median, mode, and range of a set of numbers.

Using post-it’s, we’re keeping track of the days in school. We’re going to celebrate on day 100 and we’re almost there!

Today was day 95; we’re using the day to write in decimal form (0.95), a percentage (95%), and as a fraction (95/100).

Finally, using play money, we’re continuing our subtraction of 1000 x the date.

I wonder what the February calendar will look like and what skills we’ll be learning? I can’t wait!
