In history, we continued to look at the leaders and governments of Axis nations during WWII to better understand why events occurred the way they did. We also learned a strategy to help us answer questions in class and on the English SOL.
It was all about shapes in math as we reviewed quadrilaterals! Mrs. Thomas also was able to teach our math class while Ms. D was gone! I know she had a blast and I bet students enjoyed a different voice in math class.
Other exciting things this week:
- Ms. Nelson starting a novel in English that connects with our WWII studies.
- Awesome math centers that everyone had fun with!
- Excitement about what we are learning.
- Getting closer and closer to free seats in history and math!
Ms. D's weekend snapshot:
Here are a few scenes from the DC trip! I will be spending the weekend catching up on sleep for sure!

| This sculpture is in the Rotunda Room at the Capitol. It features Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B, Anthony, and Lucretia Mott, all important suffragettes during their time. The last piece is left unfinished to symbolize how much is left to be done in the fight for woman's rights. |
