Third grade math reviewed a variety of concepts in anticipation of their term test this afternoon. We worked on multiplication, arrays, rounding, and other topics.

Fourth grade math continued their fraction exploration using Cuisenaire rods and a 12 cm number line.  They used the rods the mark off increments of 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, and 1/12 on different number lines. They used those number lines to answer a variety of questions which required them to add fractions and to determine equivalent fractions.  There were a few questions that stumped the audience but for the most part students are becoming more comfortable with fractions.

Johnson held their Nat Geo bee this morning. We had ten fourth grade finalists who braved sitting on the stage to show off their knowledge of geography. We are so proud of ALL of the finalists: David, Ev, Jakerah, Luka, Nora, Nysoun, Oak, Sahana, Sha’Mira, and Shrey. Nysoun and Shrey tied for third place, Ev was our runner up and David is the Johnson Geography Bee winner!  David will now take a test to determine if he is eligible for the state geography bee! Good luck, David!
