Yes, ALGEBRA!

This week in fourth grade we've been doing some algebra. Yes, ALGEBRA! The fourth graders learned the "order of operations" for Algebra (1. Parentheses first; 2. Multiplication and division from left to right; 3. Addition and subtraction from left to right)


We enjoyed an assembly this morning by Matt Wilhelm. Matt performed amazing BMX bike stunts while talking about bullying, perseverance and character. His stunts were incredible, his message was very valuable and the children were a wonderful audience!
