// 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 and agriculture in Mesopotamia. In Science, students learned about the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition.
