That's an equation dude! 2 = 1 + _

Today was a very productive day. The students worked on their culminating assessments and divisibility rules poster.

They had the usual gym and music lessons with Miss. Cranfiled’s blog and. Mrs. Demetriou.

Thank you to all the students that pitched in to decorate the class room. It looks fabulous.

Have a good evening.
