WELCOME BACK from a wonderful LOOOOONG Weekend!!!

Last week we focused on the new ways to multiply and divide. It is important to remember that the students do not have to use the new ways. They can choose the one that fits them best.

From talking to you at Meet the Teacher / Open House several of you asked for notes to help you help them :) with their homework. I made some over the holidays and will be providing a link within this blog. If you click on the underlined words, it will lead you to a GoogleDoc document. This can be printed to help. If it is still difficult, let me know, and we can schedule a time to sit and discuss them if you'd like!

Today in Math, we discussed making arrays. Arrays are picture representations of number sentences. A number sentence is just another way to say a "problem". Arrays have rows and columns and make squares or rectangles. Each student was given their own number and had to create all the arrays that went with it.

In Science we continued discussing Ecosystems a bit, and did a Making Words activity that will help as a Spelling grade for Mrs. Kuykendall.

This Friday, we will be starting our projects that involve our Egg cartons, and next Monday we will need our 2-liter bottles. Thanks to all of those who have sent them already :)
