Math
This week in math we focused on...
- multiplying 3 and 4 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers using a variety of strategies such as:
- array/area model
- expanded algorithm
- traditional/standard algorithm
- solving multi-step word problems
The foundation of success in this unit is mastering basic multiplication facts! Students should be practicing these nightly until mastered. If you are in need of cards, please let me know. Students are also assigned Online Practice Buddies almost daily. Although optional, they are great ways to practice the concepts being taught!
Science
The Ninjas are currently in their Motion and Design unit with Mrs. Wood!
Social Studies
This week students focused on...
- how our MO government is structured compared to the federal government.
Reading
In our Interpreting Characters unit we focused on...
- discussing how our characters are complex with multiple character traits and motivations.
Next week we will be starting our first nonfiction unit of the school year!
Please remember to read 30 minutes nightly!
