All captions and content by Sophia and Jaila

Step 1: Get a pencil and a piece of  paper and at the top write 49+33= which is the  algorithm. Draw a blank number line.


Step 2: Draw your number line.start at 49 not 33 because it quick,easier and more efficient. Because 49 is bigger then 33 and if you start at 33 it will be harder and less efficient and slower.


Step 3: So you have your  agrethem and your number  line. Now you  put  three tens. then you put three ones. you put  three tens and three ones because the  second  number is 33.


Step 4; You have your tens and ones.Now you need to label the tens and ones by putting the numbers under the tens and ones.

Introducing Report Writing










Today our Writers Workshop began a focus on report writing. The class voted to do the first report on cheetahs. Before the writing begins, the students first need to become familiar with what report writing looks like. In this lesson, groups of students investigate nonfiction texts about cheetahs. Students were to understand that reports are partitioned into chapters which focus on a particular content area. Each group made a chart which listed some of the chapters in their nonfiction book, and interesting information contained in each.

Kyler's Weekend News Story




Have you ever been bowling before?  I have and it was fun. But the first time there was no lanes so we went to another bowling place. And there was only one lane so we took it but first I had to get my bowling shoes on. Then me, my brother and my dad signed our nick names and mine was Ky, my brothers was Oz and last but not least was my dad’s nick name, it was D.a.d. Then it was my turn and I got two turns and ten games. Then when my brother was doing his turn, I made a run for it to get both of us a gum ball. Then I ran back and gave him his gum ball then it was my dad’s turn.  He got a strike so it was my turn and I only needed 7 pins to win and I got a strike! And I won first place!
