Outside our classrooms there is construction for a new gym and seventh grade classrooms. The construction is very noisy and distracting (from the jackhammers) but 5th grade at STEAM can power through it. The construction is fencing off a lot of the school. 

At STEAM we did, and we still are working on a website called the hour of code. We are able to use code.org to teach us coding skills (Which are very useful skills) and learn math while we're developing the code. 

So far we have had one snow day, missing out on many exiting things. The forecast for today ( Jan. 12, 2015 ) is grey skies and snow, some more snow, and cold. Luckily it is not below zero, but we have a feeling it's not outdoor recess today or any other day in the week.
