Math
We are studying the relationship between division and
multiplication. We've used some strategies to turn a division equation into a
related multiplication equation. That way we can use multiplication to solve
it! We looked at using multiplication charts as a cool tool to help us not only
with multiplication, but with division. We can't use multiplication charts on
test, but we've practiced how to use graph paper to create our own
multiplication chart tool. Knowing those facts fluently is super helpful!
Practice, practice, practice!
We've introduced division by separating into equal groups as well
us using repeated subtraction.
This week we are continuing to understand the similarities and
differences between multiplication and division relationships and representing
multi-step problems.
ELAR
We are finishing our poetry unit! Lines, stanzas, and rhyme scheme,
oh my! We're working hard to look at understanding and analyzing poems. We will
have our unit assessment next Wednesday October 30th.
We are continuing to make inferences and use evidence from the
text to support our understanding. For this assessment and each reading
assignment going forward, we will be expecting students to support answers with
text evidence.
Social Studies
We can describe how individuals, events, and ideas have change
communities and explain how decisions and actions of an individual impacted a
community. We will be talking about many influential people, but will focus on
the contributions of Mary McLeod Bethune and her impact on education and civil
rights.
Science
We are hard at work on our cardboard arcade games! Students are
working with groups to build using cardboard and other recyclable materials to
create an entertaining game for third and second graders to play. If anyone has
extra duct tape laying around, we will definitely put it to use! Students are
working hard every day to make sure games are ready to play by Friday November
1st!
