Zach: That math lesson was very fun!
Stefanie: I knew a lot of division, but that lesson was really fun!
Angie: When I first started doing division it was hard, but then I got used to it!
Rachel:  I think the math lesson is really fun!  I didn't understand it at first, but I finally got it.
Emily:  My first time trying division, it was very hard.  Then Ms. Wilcox explained it to me and it was much easier!!  Thank you Ms. Wilcox!
Ryan: I've got one word for you, divison!

Adam and Tristan: We think multiplying is easier, but division is really fun!  First, division was hard but then we thought about it and we got it!  We think division is easier then it looks too. Ms. Wilcox tought us an easier way to learn division.  If you really think to it, you will get it.  We'd also like to thank Miss Wilcox, because she has tought us a lot!  She is a really fun teacher and we are thankful to have her as our teacher.

We also took our timed multiplication test this week, hoping to improve our scores from last time.. Here is the link to the online test...

Ancient Heiroglyphics

Heiroglyphics were  around  so many years ago. This week our story is about a man who figured out what the heiroglyphics meant. His name was Jean-Francois Champollion.He was born in 1790. When he was 7, his older brother told him about General Napoleon. He read the Rosetta Stone.  He wanted to go to Egypt to read the ancient heiroghlphs. He did. He died in Paris in 1822. He was a really smart man. 

Emily: I really enjoyed reading this week's story.  It was fun learning about hieroglyphs! 
 
Ki:  I thought the Egypt  stuff was cool and interesting to learn.


Regina:  This week's story was awesome!  I liked making our own hieroglyphics.
