Wow! The time and a few snowflakes are flying!
Here’s what we were up to:
Math: We began working on Unit 4 this week. We spent some time on using our knowledge of multiplying by tens to help us with extended multiplication facts. We also learned a new way to multiply called partitioning. One student actually called it magical! Ask your student to show you this new strategy.
Read Aloud: We began delving into different types of genres so that we can read a little wider. We learned more about fantasy, poetry, historical fiction, and realistic fiction. Ask your student what his/her favorite genre is.
Reading: We will begin new guided reading books this week! Ask your student what book they are reading this week.
PBL: We have been learning about Energy Collisions for our latest PLTW project! Ask your student what the difference is between potential and kinetic energy!
Fact Fluency: We have several students who are still not secure in their facts. PLEASE, PLEASE help your son/daughter continue to work on these. If you need ideas for how to support, please let me know.
