Ant Farm Day 9

The ants have been busy and so have we.  This week in reading we are reading a story about a man that keeps a bird as a pet.  Ask your student what the story is all about. 

In math we continued working on multiplication and learned a new method called bow-tie multiplication.  There will be homework over the lattice method which we also worked on today. 

In the middle of all that we squeezed time to go to the middle school and watch a 5th grade band concert with the 4th graders.  We took advantage of the nice afternoon and walked back to school. 

If the ground dries out  yet this week we will be planting our garden box with Mr. McKinney's class. 

If you scroll down and look at yesterday's picture of the ants you can see that they were very busy carrying a lot of sand up to the top.  I am beginning to think that the warm weather gets them energized and moving.
