// This week at HPMS //

On Monday and throughout the week, we have enjoyed meeting with parents for Family Conferences. Students have done a beautiful job assembling their work and explaining what they have accomplished so far this semester and their goals for the year. In Math, fourth-level students worked on a Collaborative Math activity in which they estimated the number of people (or birds) in a photograph without counting. They presented their strategies and estimates to  our class. The fifth-level students worked on placing decimals on a number line to compare place value and scale. In History, students learned about religion in Mesopotamia and its gods and goddesses. In Science, students learned about the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition.
