We wanted to apply our knowledge of area and perimeter to real life so students got to design a house. The house had to contain a living room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a laundry room. It also had to be between 1200-1500 square feet. Groups had to design their house on graph paper and calculate the area and perimeter of each room. When their plans were finished they could design a 3D model of their house on the computer. They also had to research ways to make their house energy efficient, like adding solar panels or extra windows for natural light.

Fall Break and Reminders
Thank you to all of the parents that came to conferences. I enjoyed speaking with you about your children.
Over the long weekend students only need to read and have their reading log signed one time. I encourage you to read more, but you only need one signature on your log.
PTO party money is due ASAP. $3 covers all three of our parties!
Fall Festival is next Friday, October 13. Please plan to attend this awesome event.

Weldon Spring Field Trip
Our field trip to Weldon Spring was a huge success. We learned about food chains and types of soil. It was a beautiful day so we also got to hike to the top of the disposal cell. While at the top we filmed a video for Channel One News. Fingers crossed we get picked for their morning news segment. Here's some pictures from our trip.
