This week students in Mrs. Snyder's 3rd grade classroom combined a rounding hill, number line, and physical 'ball' rolling down a hill all together to investigate rounding (see picture).
One of the students suggested they make the number line into an actual hill to help the 'ball' roll down the hill. They talked about benchmark numbers, tick marks, midpoints, and intervals. They will be continuing to talk about this and moving away from the rounding hill to just using a number line. Students will be rounding to the nearest 10 with 3 digit and 4 digit numbers and then they will be rounding to the nearest 100.
Students in Mrs. Hardway's 4th grade classroom worked on understanding and creating number lines using some very big numbers!
Check out these 1st graders learning outside. They are learning about number bonds.
Some students in Mrs. Snyder's 3rd grade classroom spent some time digging for fossils today!
Students in Mrs. Wilson's 3rd grade classroom played Turtle Tag today.
What a fun way to relax after taking an assessment!
From Mrs. Hardway's 4th Grade Classroom:
In Social Studies, students are discovering what social scientists do. Yesterday, students were digging for artifacts and identifying which artifact goes with which social scientists. Categories included Geographer, Economist, Political Scientist, or Historian.
The first grade classrooms are happy to share that Cobro Moto of Hillsdale has sponsored the entire first grade this year!

Williams Elementary Families,
Tomorrow is the big day! We are super excited to see the smiling faces of our students.
Please review the map for our drop-off and pick-up locations. (These are the same as last year.)
If you have more than one child at Williams, you only need to make one stop to drop off your children or pick-them up. We ask that you go by the location used for your youngest child.
We were so very excited to see so many students and families at our Open House this week!
Our theme for this year is: We are WILD about Comet PRIDE because it's a JUNGLE out there!
We are looking forward to a great year together!
Once again, EDWARD JONES of Jonesville has blessed our school with a huge donation of school supplies and items. Thank you to all of you who may have donated. We are so very fortunate to live in such a caring, giving community!

From Williams Elementary School:
Students in Mrs. Mandrelle's class recently explored Michigan fossils. They tried to figure out how Michigan may have looked 300-400 million years ago. The students thought it was "cool they were studying stuff older than the dinosaurs".
