Third, Fourth and Fifth Grade Project Arrow Begins!

Today was the first day of Project Arrow for the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students! Second Grade will begin next week! In third grade, students will be learning hands-on "Algebra" Today they seem very confused and concerned, but I advised them th=at it would begin to make sense and come very easy to them after a while. Fourth grade students took a pretest today in "Geometry" and will soon begin a hands-on unit called "Geometric Explorations" and our Fifth grade students will dive into the world of Stocks, as they learn about our economy and play a Fantasy Stock Market game. I hope the students are as excited as I am to get PA up and running this year. Stay tuned for updates on each of these units.
