STAR Students!

Congrats to our Star Students for this week!  Hannah and Maria have worked so hard as always.  We are so proud of the effort they have both made to improve academics, stay out of drama and make great choices!  Way to go girls!

Can you change the elastic potential energy in a rubber band?

We had fun today answering this question!  Each group had the chance to change how far they pulled the rubber band and then let it fly.  We were able to determine how changing the amount of elastic potential energy will affect the distance it can fly.

Thanksgiving Dinner Baskets Needed!

Let's show our San Pablo spirit and support our fellow classmates, schoolmates and/or neighbors.  We are in need of non perishable foods to help create Thanksgiving baskets for San Pablo families in need.  All food items are due in class by Friday! 

Thanks to Nick Miller who has already sent in a bag of food!  For each can or food item, you will receive a Gibbo/Goody dollar in your account at school. 

Thanks for supporting other San Pablo families!

Fraction Fun!

We have been having so much fun with our fractions in class.  We have learned how to use the clock to add fractions and how to use a number line to find equivalent fractions and then add them.  Today we looked at using an area model to add and subtract fractions.  Here are a couple of photos from our area model!
