October 6 Weekly Update

Hello!  Check out what the Ninjas have been up to...

Math
Our mathematicians focused on...

  • solving 4 digit by 1 digit multiplication word problems
  • multiplying multiples of 10
    • (ex. 60 x 30 = 1,800)
    • (ex. 20 x 26 = 520)
  • using models to multiply by multiples of 10
  • reviewing their data to set goals and determine learning targets to work on
Please remember to practice multiplication facts nightly!  In addition, Online Practice Buddies are assigned daily as optional homework.  These are great ways to practice concepts at home!


Science
The Ninjas are continuing to work on their Motion and Design unit with Mrs. Wood.

  • students compared the federal, state, and local government structures
  • studied the structure of our local governments and applied their knowledge to solve problems
