Cookie Project, Budgeting, and Creating Soil

As we finished up our last full week of January, the students completed a unit on economics (except for Tuesday's "Cookie Project") and began a science unit on rocks, minerals, and fossils, including creating their own soil today. 

Students partake in a problem-solving scenario in math class.

We learned how to use store circulars to hunt for deals.

Our Scholastic bonus points earned us 15 free books this month! 

Students taught math lessons and checked each others' work.

Today, we worked at creating our own soil from humus (living materials) and broken rocks.
